Slice of bread, slice of cheese, slice of bread.
Grill

EXACTLY THIS + lather the outside layers of the sandwich (so the top of the top slice and the bottom of the bottom slice) with spreadable butter. You can also soften regular butter in the microwave by warming it for like 2-3 seconds until it looks like it's starting to melt.

Then Just put the buttered slices of bread onto a pan at medium heat and cook until you've reached your desired doneness (just check it often)

>>6195517
Fuck u KING I fucking hate your guts you fucking fag

>>6195509
2 slices of cheese

Just put cheese between two pieces of bread and microwave for one minute

>>6195541

>>6195507

<<--every home in 80's Britain had one

>>6195625
I have one of those but honestly I find a grilled cheese made in a waffle iron is damn tasty as long as you don't put too much cheese.

i like to make a toasted pizza sandwhich.

cook it like any other grilled cheese.
except instead of just regular cheese, put in mozzarella cheese and some pizza sauce.

Put jalapenos in the sandwich.
Fuck the haters. Do it.

>>6195541
I did this the other night cuz I felt too fucked up to even operate a gas stove. It was shit.

Use mayonnaise instead of butter for your grilled cheese. The bread comes out golden and is much harder to burn. The crispness is ideal. Just try it once, and thank me later.

Slather the bread with mayonnaise instead of butter

>>6196077
don't use mayo because you're too lazy to turn the heat down and wait.

just use softened butter, medium-low heat. also put a little cheese on the outside of the bread too

>>6195507
put ham in it and powdered sugar on top. enjoy faggot

A lot of butter and use block sharp cheddar.

its bread and cheese, no need to complicate things

>>6196083
I use mayo because it yields superior results, not because I'm a 12 year old who can't cook.

>>6196200
so.....you are a 12 y/o that can't cook?

Personally I like to trow everything off board, and do the following:
Green pesto
Mozarella
Smoked Italian Ham
Some tomato if you want

And throw that in a grilled cheese machine

Is there any specific kind or brand of sandwich toaster you guys would recommend?

>>6195541

I microwave my sandwiches quite a lot, especially if the bread is getting a bit dry. The hot filling is nice, and it comes out like steamed bread.

Spread both sides of the bread with whatever you're using, and put them in the pan on low until they're crisp. Flip one, put cheese on it, put the other one on top without flipping so that the uncooked sides are on the outside. Cook as normal.

>>6195625
it looks like i would melt my mouth when i bite into one of those

American cheese slice and sweet chilli sauce.

>>6195541
i tried this once because i didn't feel like washing a pan. bread turned stale and cheese turned plastic.

>>6196316
Did you take it out of the wrapping first?

>>6196200
mayo is just butter with sugar and vinegar in it

I'm back to thank you. Just tried this for the first time and it was amazing.

Try adding some caramelized onions

>>6196077
I've always had better results with butter, but that's just me. I guess it also helps using real butter and not margarine or that "i can't believe it's not butter" shit.

>>6195507
whole grain bread + pepperjack cheese + fresh jalapeno slices + buttered bread which is seasoned with pink Himalayan salt, black pepper, Hungarian wax pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Cooked in a sandwich toaster.

No joke. People kill for these.

>>6195625
Oh hi there! I didn't see you, old chap!

c||:^>

Butter the outside of the bread before grilling it, also on the outside sprinkle minced green onion flakes on it. It gives a subtle flavor to it. (needs to be green onion I tried normal onion flakes and was not good)

>>6196594
Something about multiple different chili peppers in the same thing doesn't go too smoothly with my guests, but it's probably the slight variations in flavor between each of the milder ones not blending too well with their palates along with different and unexpected areas of their mouths being hit by warmth that they're not accustomed to. These seem a bit mild for me if the chili peppers lose as much heat as they do when cooked in a frying pan, as well. Either way I'm trying them out for myself later.

American cheese, green olives. Shit is cash.

>>6196550
Thank you for believing!

>>6196752

Thank you for imparting this knowledge. Never going to make them any other way.

What other cheeses besides American are good for grilled cheese

>>6196912

I made one earlier using a combination of Cheddar and Maasdam. Cheddar gave a really good flavour, Maasdam gave a really good texture.

>>6196912
I like strong swiss, brick is also good. Sometimes I do a combination of 2. Also I like feta but I don't suggest it for most people.

I normally add ham to mine, not packaged ham with water added, but spiral ham cooked with brown sugar, and I used smoked cheddar. But I don't eat grilled cheese often, normally only after thanksgiving, or Christmas, when I have leftover ham I need to get rid of before it goes bad. As for smoked cheddar I keep it in my fridge, find a good source, I have a farmer in town who makes his own chedder and smokes it himself, shit is so much better than anything you can buy in a store, trust me, you don't want a name brand for cheese, you want something that was made within 100 miles of where you live, itll change your outlook on cheese

>>6196200

Haha only an American would get this angry about food..
It doesn't matter what you call them so longas puerile people know what you're talking about

>>6199688
Also who grills their cheese.. fried in butter is far superior

>>6199743
but when you say grilled cheese, people arent gonna think "oh yeah that has bacon and broccoli in it"

people wont know what you're talking about since you're using the wrong words

>>6195507
Butter 2 pieces of bread.
Preheat skillet to medium.
Make sure pan is straight or you get uneven browning.
2 slices of cheese of your choice (I use Munster)
Put buttered slice of bread in pan.
Put cheese on that.
Put other slice of bread on top of cheese (butter side out).
Wait until bread doesn't stick to pan.
Flip.
Wait until bread doesn't stick.
Flip and cook until color you want is achieved.
Done.
Enjoy.

I feel old, knowing that half the people on /ck/ probably don't even remember the Pink Himalayan Salt threads a few years back.
