CRISPY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
• Spread one side of each piece of bread with a small amount of softened butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan on each slice so it sticks to the butter. Turn one piece over and sprinkle the mixed cheese on top (this will be the filling). Place the other piece of bread on top, with the Parmesan side facing up.
• Carefully transfer the sandwich to the skillet and cook on both sides until the middle filling is melted and gooey. Watch carefully so the surface doesn't burn; it should be a nice deep golden brown. Slice in half and dig in!

BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER

Steps:

• Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh). When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag. Seal and allow them to steam and cool.
• Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile. This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.
• Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon. It's the simple things in life!
• When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles. Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.
• For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce. Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.
• Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.
• Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside. Be careful not to burn the bread!

SPICY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Place one piece of bread, mayonnaise-side down, into the skillet. Top with the Jalapeno Pimento Cheese. Place the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up, onto the cheese. Using a spatula, press together and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Slice and serve.
• Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, adobo sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, cayenne or hot sauce and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until combined. Add almost all of the Cheddar and Gouda, reserving about 2 tablespoons of each in a bowl, and pulse until well combined again. Add the contents of the blender to the reserved cheese and stir to combine. Fold in the pimentos, jalapenos and dill, then chill before serving.
• Serve as a dip with crackers and olives.

PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Brush one side of each slice of bread with this mixture.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay one piece of the bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara sauce on the bread and layer on the mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, pepper slices, olives and basil leaves. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Toast in the skillet, flipping as needed, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from the skillet and slice in half. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup marinara on the side.

EXTRA SPECIAL GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Butter one slice of bread and place in frying pan or on griddle. Place cheese on bread.
• Butter the second slice of bread and place butter side up on top of cheese.
• Fry on medium heat until golden brown, turn over and fry other side of sandwich. Remove from heat and spread jelly on the TOP of the sandwich and serve.
• I prefer mozzarella or Colby jack cheese with strawberry jelly or American cheese with grape jelly.
