The ultimate grilled cheese sandwich
What is in your perfect grilled cheese sandwich?
If you have a bag of miso kicking around in your fridge, try this. Spread a little miso on both sides of whole-grain bread, butter the other side. Add your favorite cheddar, and some tomato and basil if you want. Toast it butter side down in a frying pan. Sounds weird, but it's really good. |
An idea I copied from the Food Network is to buy a freshly baked loaf of French bread, cut it in half and invert it so that the crust is in the middle, load your cheeses and put it into a panini press. The crust soaks up the cheese oils and softens.

Miso on a grilled cheese? Sounds interesting. I'll give it a shot sometime.
I like two different kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches. If I'm dipping it in tomato soup, then I just get cheddar on an artisan country loaf or sourdough and put a thin tomato slice in the middle. Very traditional. The other one I like to make is to use rye bread, asiago, sharp cheddar, provolone, grated parmesan, banana peppers, tomato and a little horseradish. Grill that baby up and it's delicious. |

Another good treat is a sesame cracker bread with cream cheese and pepper jelly. I love this snack during football games, but I usually end up eating way too much cream cheese than what would be recommended for good health. |

Didn't know there was another way. You can tell who grew up poor or not. |

A frying pan for a grilled cheese? Are you kidding me? |

As an aside, we always referred to them as toasted cheese sammiches in our house. |

And Surfah's right, sammiches it is. |
Quote:
You would be correct to call them fried cheese sammiches. Or seared cheese sammiches. I think we can both agree that "grilled" is not the correct term of art. |
Quote:
Agreed, grilled is wrong. |

The youngest boy just calls them melted cheese sandwiches.

Isnt reaction the entire process? convection is the movement of heat to cook the bread? Look, the point is that they aren't grilled and we seem to both be on the same page on that one. |

As to your question, I have no idea. I had to look it up after you posted it. |

I like Colby-Jack cheese with Del Taco Scorcho sauce. The cheese and scorcho melted on buttery bread is delicious.

Boil two cups of water, noodles, and a chili pepper When noodles are done, stir in an egg, and boil until done This is one of my favorite meals. It's not only delicious, but costs under a dollar! |
I loathe grilled cheese. I haven't had one in probably ten years.
|
It goes great with spam casserole.

The other night when I came home late from work two little triangles remained from my daughter's grilled cheese sandwich. So I promptly popped them in my mouth and ate them. My daughter came back into the dining room a half hour later to find the rest of her dinner eaten and started wailing. I had to make her a bean burrito. |

However, I don't truly think certain foods reflect economic status. Once when I was in high school I was at a friends house and they had Sloppy Joes for dinner. I made the comment that I had never eaten Sloppy Joes before. My friend's rude aunt replied, "Well your family must have been a lot more rich than this one!" I actually grew up lower middle class, no doubt about it. And I have never eaten more Sloppy Joes than I have in the past 3 months living with my husband's parents, who are easily making more than 3 times the amount my parents ever will. |
P.S. Sloppy Joes are very gross, and although my family might have been crudely "not rich" I am glad my parents never subjected me to such atrocious cuisine.

One suggestion: -Instead of ground beef, use chicken breast -Instead of tomato sauce, use alfredo sauce -Instead of spooning it onto a bun, mix it with spinach alfredo I call it a sloppy guiseppi |
Quote:
Your suggestion does sound excellent, though. ;) |

the "i" makes the "g" soft so it is pronouncd joo-SEP-pee Spelled "guiseppi" the "g" is hard so it is pronounced gwee-SEP-pee. Just thought you'd like to know. |

the reason sloppy joes are gross are because they contain ground beef. which is gross.
Gidget, I agree that certain foods do not necessarily indicate economic status. There is a very famous restaurant in NYC, Union Square Cafe (coincidentally USC!)......specializes in comfort food at outrageous prices....meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, chicken noodle soup, etc.. Those things are still classics. Also, I love going to a nice taco stand in East LA and having dinner for $5....6 al pastor tacos and a pina or an horchata. I will pass on the Sucio Jose, though. Thanks. |
