I got a craving and made aged Gouda, Pepper Jack, and mild Cheddar.

Basic bread and butter in a skillet.

Whatcha got?

I like to use mayo in place of butter. Adds a slight tang, browns better IMO, and easier to spread.

I like your cheese combination, but I add a slice of two of Canadian bacon in a grilled pineapple to it…..delicious

Mayo sounds interesting. We have French bakery close by and they have a great sourdough loaf. Also, when I take it out of the pan, I’ll let it sit on a wire rack for a minute. If you go right to a plate, it looses some of the crisp on the bottom due to the condensation

“Blondie” makes ours with Havarti & American cheeses on sourdough slices. Handful of baked, sea-salt chips & an Abita Amber for this CoonAss…

Use good sourdough bread and you'll never eat it any other way

She buys sourdough loaves @ Fresh Market, and we hand slice them. Solid loaves!

Sprinkling a little flake salt on top of the bread before flipping will take your GC to the next level.

I've started making a couple of loaves of sourdough bread each week. Game changer for all of my sandwiches.

Made a grilled cheese the other day with a mix of extra-sharp cheddar, monterrey jack, gouda, Swiss, and gruyere. I usually don't mix that many, but I was trying to get rid of a bunch of small leftover pieces. Shredded them all and mixed together.

All of those cheeses, along with the freshly made sourdough was pretty damn tasty.

Fry some bacon and two eggs. Then build your grilled cheese like normal with the eggs and bacon in it, butter on the outside of white bread, etc.

Then grill it in the mostly drained bacon pan.

They call that a bacon egg and cheese melt at the Waffle House.

Same prep but try Havarti and Gruyere next time. Dynamite.

Have a small cup of tomato basil soup nearby, dip your sandwich into that.

It will change your life, thank me later.

If you have the time to allow your butter to get to room temp, mixing it with mayo is great for the outside of the grilled cheese. You get the nice browning and tang, but still with that butter flavor that is signature to grilled cheese.

I also agree with the sea salt sprinkle.

I need to do the wire rack thing.

I like mayo on the inside of my grilled cheese sandwich

I recommend trying the outside. Still get the flavor and superior browning to butter.
