How To Make A Grilled Cheese Sandwich

January 16th, 2010 · 8 Comments

X42BAA53V753 I get a good amount of emails from you youngsters asking for instructions on how to cook a grilled cheese sandwich. I feel your pain. Once upon a time, I too had trouble trying not to burn my Captain Crunch cereal and marinating my Coca Cola. So, for your food porno pleasure, here’s the nitty gritty ‘how to’ in grilled cheese makin’.

Ingredients

-Bread
-Cheese
-Butter or margarine (or spread if you’re a cheap ass like myself)

Say hello to your bread. After saying hello to your bread, preheat your cooking pan to medium-high heat.

Butter both pieces on one side ONLY.

Now place your cheese on the non-buttered side of the bread.

Now put the other bread on top. The outside of your sandwich is the buttered side and the inside of the sandwich is the non-buttered side. This is very important because you need the buttered side to be on the outside in order to get the bread cooked properly.

Throw that gangsta ass piece on the pan.

A good indication that it’s time to flip it is when the top butter is melted through.

Bam! Now flip and let this side cook for the same amount of time as the first side. Take your spatula and flatten your sandwich. You flatten your sandwich because now you want to essentially mold everything together.

My mom taught me that using mayo instead of butter for that will give the same buttery flavor & texture, but less greasy. My favorite version is one Publix stores give out on recipe cards: Grilled cheese with turkey and salsa inside, sprinkled with powdered sugar on the outside Appled-grilled cheese is also a big fave in my family:

Thanks for your comment on my page. Sure, I’m up for a link exchange.

Oh man, I used to like grilled cheese sandwiches and tuna melts until I found out I was lactose intolerant.
Then I found… grilled peanut butter banana sandwiches.

Megan - Appled grilled cheese??? Hmmmmm I’ll try out that recipe and let you know my thoughts. Seems like a weird combo. I do love grilled cheese with meats inside. My favorite is tuna grilled cheese sandwiches.

LookyTasty - I feel your pain. I’m a little lactose. I can still have cheese, but I can no longer drink milk. I have to drink soy milk which, in my opinion, is

I link your site on this one. Just go to the links section and you can see it there. Lemme know when I’m linked on yours. Thanks!!

You’re linked on mine too.

I can eat certain types of cheese but have trouble with others. I can’t drink milk either, unless it’s hot milk, then i can tolerate about a cup of it. Soy milk is delicious to me… plain or lightly sweetened.

Greetings, Man!
That refreshing approach of yours to food is great fun!
Certainly makes a good break after all those haughty specialists!
Reading Megan’s and your comments, you just reminded me that not so long ago I ate that great tuna hamburger here in Japan exactly as the perfect hamburger with the sole different it was mad with minced tuna. You call it slider in your contry, I think!
Now, fish also goes well with snadwich, don’t they?
Thank you so much for your kind comments on Foodbuzz!
Best regards,

LookyTasty - Great! Thx.

Robert - Indeed I’m far from a food specialist and I’m glad I am. It keeps my opinion on certain things very raw and simple. It’s usually the simple foods that universally taste the best like your tuna hamburger. That would go over well with somebody in Japan or somebody in Africa.

Ha! Love it. I sadly didn’t know how to do this until 5 yrs ago. I blame it on my mom.

You’re talking about the barrel man, right? I didn’t know until 5 years ago too. Then one day I took the barrel off and was like
