Gee . . . I never put anything on my grilled cheese but cheese and bread . . . brushing the bread with butter . . . then frying it on both sides until it is crispy and browned pretty . . . then I heat a bowl of tomato soup, and pour a glass of cold milk to go with my grilled cheese . . . seems to me that if you add meat . . . it becomes something other than a grilled cheese Just call me the anal retentive girl who does not think outside the box very well. PS Plus the fact that grilled cheese is one of my comfort foods .. .
SOJ, I am so glad to see that I am not the only purist when it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches. And tomato soup is a must, makes a great winter supper.
I like ours best, Toni . . . the others sound good, but if it aint broke, don't fix it is my philosophy!!!!
This was the WRONG thread to read as I am resisting an afternoon snack!!! Now I'm starving! May favorite ways to spice up my grilled cheese to to vary the bread and cheese...and to add bacon
SofJ and Toni...I whole heartedly agree...that is the only way to make a grill cheese. Other stuff and it ain't grill cheese!!
best thing for me other than plain grilled cheese is a layer of Branston pickle then the grated cheese on top grilled yummy, also with a bowl of tomato soup it cant be beaten I think I now know what lunch is going to be!
