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.

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

Exactly, in fact I would toast my bread, put some butter on it, put the cheese in the middle and microwave it for 30 seconds.

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

Whoa nelly, what you are proposing isn't even in the same realm of taste as a pan fried sammich.

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

Shouldn't that be toasted cheese sammiches?

interesting that of all the incarnations of grilled cheese sandwich (toaster, frying pan, microwave) none of them involve cooking the sandwich on a grill.
