The Grilled Cheese: Take It Up a Level

[VictorLouis]

My son's girlfriend just made some this way. Mustard, mixed with shredded medium chedder, between sourdough. Darned good!

When I make them (when it's just me and the boys) I spread mayo inside and outside and slap 'em in a hot skillet. I only flip mine once. Patience Grasshopper.

That’s it! Mayo instead of butter to grill it. Got to be Dukes!

I absolutely love a good grilled cheese and tomato soup. Over the past several years, more restaurants are elevating their grilled cheese game.

Mom used to make them with kraft and condensed tomato soup, then later on used 'real cheese' and I didn't like them as much growing up. I really enjoy good cheese but for me this is the winning combination:

Neon-yellow other worldly processed cheese, thick cut white bread, browned/toasted in butter. Can of whole san marzano tomatoes, crush lightly, with some garlic and salt...that's it!

Stilton on Sourdough with a "proper" bacon rasher top and bottom. No need for any condiments. Dave_n

You’ll say it’s gross until you try it. Don’t grill it with butter. Use mayo instead. Trust me.

My son does that. Works! Mayo on the outside, then onto the griddle.

I'm more of the traditionalist, lots o' butter. Sort of butter fried bread with cheese inside.

Mayo on the inside, butter on the outside. Fry!
