The Godfather Of Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Food

THE ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet to medium-low. Spread 2 teaspoons of the butter on one side of a bread slice. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Place one of the slices butter-side down and shingle the cheese on top, covering the entire surface. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
• Place the sandwich on the griddle and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. If the bread is browning too quickly, shift the griddle off the heat. Flip the sandwich, then cover with a small metal bowl and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Once golden brown on both sides, toast the edges of the sandwich, if desired. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half on the bias and serve immediately.

THE BEST EVER GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread 3 tablespoons butter on 1 side of bread slices. Toast bread, butter side down, in a large skillet or electric griddle over medium-low heat until golden brown, 2-3 minutes; remove. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Manchego cheese, onion powder and remaining 3 tablespoons butter. In another bowl, combine cheddar, Monterey Jack and Gruyere. , To assemble sandwiches, top toasted side of 4 bread slices with sliced Brie. Sprinkle cheddar cheese mixture evenly over Brie. Top with remaining bread slices, toasted side facing inward. Spread mayonnaise mixture on the outsides of each sandwich. Place in same skillet and cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, 5-6 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

ITALIAN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan (or large skillet) over medium-high heat until good and hot.
• Whisk olive oil, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper in a small bowl. With a pastry brush, brush oil mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
• Place 2 slices of bread on hot grill/skillet (oiled sides down). Quickly layer atop non-oiled side of bread slices: one slice of provolone, two slices of salami and one slice of provolone. (Note: If the provolone slices are wider than your bread slices, tear them to fit just inside the perimeter of the bread slices.) Top sandwiches with remaining slices of bread (oiled sides up).
• Grill sandwiches until bottom slice of bread is browned (light or dark per your preference). With a large spatula, carefully turn each sandwich and brown the other side per your preference.
• Remove from grill/skillet, allow to cool for 2 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve.

DAD'S PERFECT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut the slices of cheddar cheese; not too thick, but not skimpy, either; cut one slice in half.
• Take the two slices of bread and generously butter each of them on one side.
• Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Get yourself the cover from a Revereware saucepan, or another cover of about the same size.
• Place one of the slices of bread, butter side down, in the hot skillet.
• Spread 2 and a half slices of cheese on the bread, then cover it butter-side-up with the other slice of bread; eat the extra, unused half of the cheese slice.
• Push the bread down a little with the metal spatula, then cover the whole thing up with the saucepan lid (the idea is to heat the air up underneath the lid and melt the cheese faster as you're also browning the bread).
• Uncover every minute and check the cooking bread color- you want it golden, not burnt (no matter what Mom says - she likes 'em black for some reason).
• When it's to the color you like, carefully flip the sandwich over, press down on it with the spatula to squish the bread and cheese together, and re-cover with the saucepan to continue melting the cheese.
• After about 3-5 minutes of slow cooking, you'll have a wonderfully golden, melty, gooey grilled cheese sandwich!

FABULOUS GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread one side of each bread slice with the butter. On a clean work surface, place 4 slices buttered-side down. Divide the cheese and ham among those 4 slices. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered-side up.
• Heat a grill pan or a 12-inch skillet with a lid over medium heat until warm. Place the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cook, covered, 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until cheese melts and bread is golden brown.
• Cut each sandwich in half; slide in 1 or 2 tomato slices and serve hot.

THE GODFATHER OF GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese w/the blue cheese & mix well to a smooth consistency.
• Add crisped bacon pieces & diced tomato to the cheese mixture & mix just well enough to achieve a good distribution.
• Put 8 slices sandwich bread on your cutting board or counter. Using a pastry brush, brush approx 1/2 tbsp of the Italian salad dressing on ea slice of bread.
• Turn over 4 slices of the bread & spread 3 oz of the cheese mixture on those 4 slices (You should have 12 oz of cheese mixture for this).
• Top ea of those slices w/the other 4 slices so all the exposed bread surfaces are the ones spread w/the Italian salad dressing.
• Grill your sandwiches & enjoy!
