Grilled Cheese with MAYO!?

[k22fan]

While I have been served grilled cheese sandwiches with mayo on the outside my preference is to use neither mayo nor margarine or butter. I just give the pan a light spraying with cooking oil. That's all heavy wheat bread and good cheddar cheese need.

I can not eat all the calories I want. Butter and mayo are nearly completely gone from my diet.

With peanut butter?

No but I was amused when visiting Graceland that the
diner offered a banana/peanut butter sandwich.

Oh man! Ain't had one in years! Used to take toast, peanut butter, sliced ripe banana and drizzle some honey over it with the toast still warm... I need to make one soon! Of course Wal-Mart had nothing but bright green bananas so I'll have to wait till they ripen!

Darn it there isn't anything better than toasted cheese samitch dunked on tomato soup and a dill pickle on the side.
I never heard of using mayo instead of butter but mayo on the inside just sounds like yuck. Like they say don't knock it till ya tried it. And no I don't know who "They" are.

I just got a recipe for home made bread using coconut or almond flour so I just might have to make a loaf for a cheese samitch. I make the bowl of bread for breakfast all the time now. 2 eggs, 4 tbs almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbs flax seed, 4tbs of water, 1/2 tsp onion powder and garlic powder, 1 tbs heavy cream, pepper, 1/2 c shredded Colby jack cheese all mixed together then nuke for 4 minutes. You can leave out the flax seed if you want. Then just out of the microwave I put two slices of philly cheese to melt on top. HMMM it's good eating. I will have to use this to make toasted cheese samitch also.

One of these days... One of these days... I am gonna try one of those Elvis peanut butter and banana fried in butter sammiches...

(Sure does remind me of Dirty Harry though: "Ya gotta ask yerself. Do ya feel lucky, punk?!")

When I was a kid, we used to sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on the buttered bread of a grilled cheese sandwich. I haven't had one in a LONG time, but I remember that it used to taste heavenly.

Grilled cheese

I like my grilled cheese with tomato and bacon.

Now we're gettin' serious

Yes, fried like a toasted cheese sandwich. Always a debate about whether Elvis preferred white or wheat bread, chunky or regular PB, and if he liked his bananas sliced or mashed. I vote for wheat bread, chunky PB, and sliced bananas. Elvis was a true genius to invent that sandwich.

Along with peanut butter and pickle sandwiches one of our standard brown bag school lunches was peanut butter and sliced banana. That tradition started before 1960 so I asked my now 93 year old mother if she'd ever heard peanut butter and banana attributed to Elvis. Her was answer was that's nonsense. She ate cold peanut butter and banana sandwiches before WW II. To her siblings that seldom ate anything they did not grow, hunt or catch the bananas were a flamboyant treat. Perhaps Elvis was the first to fry one but that's not likely.

By the way, all our sandwiches were made with mom's home made heavy whole wheat bread and nothing good was said about the white Wonder Bread eaten by most of the other kids. I still avoid white bread.

No doubt the Elvis banana and PB sandwich pre-dates Elvis, but he made it famous. I remember reading that his black female cook said he loved them and she made them for him around the clock. She said he liked his made with just "plain 'ol white bread." Whether she fried them for him or not I can't say, but I prefer them that way.

She may be the one that Elvis gave a handgun to for protection and wrote and signed a "permit" for her to carry it. I remember reading a story about that. I guess in Memphis an "Elvis Permit" would have been honored.

I call it the "BOMB" you won't eat too many there heavy.

Grill cheese. Cheese of your choice white or yellow American, real butter.
Fry bacon the way you like it.
Burger the way you like it.
Fried onions, sweet yellow onions sliced, ketchup, fried in olive oil, paperika, salt pepper, fry till caramelized.


Make a few you can't have just one they are so good.

OK so we have grilled cheese and mayo with bacon snuck in, so where is the broccoli? I'm thinking a broccoli/cheese sauce might be good spread over the finished sammich.

I have had a grilled cheese and a cup of coffee for lunch 4 days
a week for over 30yrs.in a local greasy spoon. They make mine
on Pumpernickle with real butter, Kraft "cheese" with a couple
Bread & Butter pickles on the side. Started the grilled cheese
thing to stop eating cheese burgers and fries everyday. Didn't
like it at first, but it grew on me.

Eeww. I'm thinking you're trying to think of what doesn't go with what. Your broccoli on a grilled cheese sandwich idea would rank with grape jelly on a steak, or ketchup on vanilla ice cream. No broccoli on grilled cheese, it's just wrong!
