Grilled cheese anyone?

Does anyone else do anything special when they make grilled cheese sandwiches or do they stick with the simple ones?

I usually add a bit of garlic to the melted butter I spread on the wheat bread and toss some diced up jalapenos in with the ham and cheddar cheese. When I get back I might try and add a thin slice of tomato in there too. Can't wait to cook for myself.

I like to put pretzels between the bread and cheese.

My favorite grilled cheese is taking some leftover french bread.

Take some olive oil and garlic salt, and spread it on the outer sides. Take a slice of mozzarella, some italian seasoning, and some slices of pepperoni or salami.

Grill that sucker up. oooohhhh momma.

I like bacon or ham on mine. This one sounds reallly good>>Take some olive oil and garlic salt, and spread it on the outer sides. Take a slice of mozzarella, some italian seasoning, and some slices of pepperoni or salami.

Use Mayo instead of butter and add a slice of tomato.

That sounds real good. Must. Try.

I'd like to repeat the mayo trick.

Use good mayonnaise on the outside of the bread. Try Trader Joe's, or a hispanic brand.
It creates a great crispy crust on the outside.

Jalepenos are a little too spicey for me, but good idea on the pepperoncini's.. .that sounds good!! nice and mild!

Have to say, one of my fav quick meals.

Just the other day one of the teachers here made a bunch of them and handed them out.. yummmmmy

I like to make mine with some thin slices of Tomato and some crisp bacon.

Nice pics,,,looking at those put my cholesterol up about 50 points. Some of the recipes sounds pretty good as I use sourdough bread instead but now,,,may use these other recipes as well.

garlic with the butter, use thick french or italian bread, tomato in the middle... mmm

I like standard grilled ham and cheese. Nothing too fancy, simpler is a lot of times better.
