Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Stilly River Sage Date: 31 Aug 14 - 12:13 PM A sandwich with two pieces of bread grilled in the skillet, yes. But open face works best under the broiler. Less bread, no butter, slightly virtuous for those on low-carb diets. Mostly because it's delicious and you can get a lot of cheese on top of that piece of toast. |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Jeri Date: 31 Aug 14 - 11:57 AM I never liked Campbell's tomato soup. Just gimme the grilled cheese. YOU may toast the bread, but I like it grilled in a skillet, with some butter. My mom used to make them with Cheddar, they're good with American (yeah, it's not "real" cheese) or Velveeta. Basically cheese on grilled bread. My biggest problem is that when I buy the cheese and the bread, I have to use them up before they aren't edible, so I haven't had any for a while. Not in danger of starving... |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 31 Aug 14 - 11:55 AM Agreed, grilled cheese sandwich with Tomato-basil soup. Well-buttered, good cheddar. Variation- Monte Cristo style; after toasting, coat in in well-beaten egg and quickly fry until the egg coats the sandwich. |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: GUEST Date: 31 Aug 14 - 11:41 AM The French variant is to put the sarnie under the soup, in their case onion soup. We wouldn't be British if we didn't suggest some malt extract in it too, a knifetip in the marmite. |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Stilly River Sage Date: 31 Aug 14 - 11:26 AM Agreed, Janie. Grilled cheese and cream of tomato (we always had Campbells) soup was a classic comfort food lunch when I was a child. I make bread with 4 cups of flour - 3 bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat. I toast a slice lightly then cover it with fairly thick slices of a good blond sharp cheddar (Cougar Gold is a fabulous variety from the Ag folks at Washington State University). This open face sandwich goes under the broiler till it is bubbly. SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Nigel Parsons Date: 31 Aug 14 - 11:15 AM If we're including toasted sandwiches, my favourite, using a proprietary brand sandwich toaster is cheese bean & ham. Butter (or margarine) the bread on what will be the outside of the sandwich. Place the first (bottom) two slices in the toaster. (mine makes two at once) Mould the bread into the depressions in the toaster and put (Heinz) baked beans into the hollows provided. Add slices of cheese to completely cover the beans, and provide a seal to keep the beans in. Add sliced ham, then the top slices of bread. Close the toaster, allow about 5 minutes, open & serve. Watch out, the beans tend to retain heat much better than any other part of the sandwich. |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Janie Date: 31 Aug 14 - 12:42 AM Grilled cheese and tomato soup - the ultimate comfort food associated with childhood memories and nurturing Momma. I don't tolerate many variations well, simply because of the associations. I did eventually move on to American or cheddar cheese from Velveeta, and good bread - sourdough or whole wheat or both rather than "Wonder Bread" but beyond those changes, I still cling to the memories. In summer when vine ripe, flavorful tomatoes are available, I add a slice of tomato if I have one on-hand. Otherwise, I want good and too highly buttered, unadulterated, grilled cheese 'sammich' with tomato soup/bisque. Not particular about the tomato bisque. I occasionally love food that takes me back to being a child again. Mac and cheese doesn't do that for me. Grilled cheese and tomato bisque definitely does. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: Ed T Date: 30 Aug 14 - 10:39 PM Yes, tomato soup goes very well with GCS, yummy. |
Subject: RE: BS: Grilled cheese sandwich From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 30 Aug 14 - 10:29 PM Thanks for the link, Ed. I like the sound of the grilled cheese sammich (GCS) with thin slices of apple. To me the best way to enhance a GCS is to have a bowl of tomato soup sprinkled with basil. |
