I like to add cheese and herbs to the butter for extra flavor and heretic fondue slices inside for their perfect meltiness.

I like that you describe the fondue slices as "heretic". That immediately diffused any irrational outrage I may have felt at your choice of cheese, and is also quite a funny way to describe it

I like to add ham and tomatoes to my grilled cheeses.

Damn straight.

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

That's the last straw, you are banned from r/grilledcheese.

Tap for spoilerWhat do you mean this isn't reddit?

I've discovered Dutch Gouda in a bit wheel lately and have been going nuts with it and sourdough bread. A little wholegrain mustard and a pickle on the side. Little pepper, little salt...

Damn it, mouth is watering again..

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

You need that sweet dill mustard sauce. Hard to find outside the Netherlands, goes so well with an aged Gouda.

i use a mayo butter mix and shredded colby/jack on the outside, it turns into a crisp sheet.

[–] f1error@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I use mayo on the outside, but I must learn of your alchemical ways to evolve grilled cheese.

Please give more details as to how you do this. Crispy cheese skin and molten cheese core sounds like a game-changer.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sprinkle some finely shredded cheese on the pan slightly smaller than the piece of bread (the cheese expands as it melts) no need for extra oil or anything since the cheese is fatty enough. Toss the bread on top and let the magic happen. You'll know it's good and crispy when you can get your spatula/flipping utensil under the cheese without it squishing up or sticking to the pan. If either of those things happen, just give it a little more time

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

That's it exactly. oh and use a non-stick pan :)

The cheese should be about (or almost) bread crust brown. When it cools it'll form a crispy shell.

[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Nice. I add seasoning to the inside and then after toasting one side when it is up, I add parm or some other cheese and then fry it a bit for a very cheesy sammich!

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I wish I had thyme for this.

[–] titey@jlai.lu 4 points 6 days ago

This looks delicious! I need to test your recipe! 😋

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is this butter homemade or did you buy it somewhere?

[–] MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.website 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I made it 🙂

Use soft butter put 1-2 tbsp of it into a small bowl, depending on how big your bread is etc.

From an old jar of dried thyme leaves I’m trying to use up, I sprinkle some into my hand and rub it together until it gives a smell again. Tastes way better with fresh if you have it.

Incrementally add enough rubbed thyme into the butter and stir it until it looks good. Then stir in some Parmesan cheese, but not so much that it stiffens up (I just add more butter when that happens).

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago

Sounds really easy! I'll give this a try thank you :)

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Salsa is where its at. Either in the middle or dipped

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I've never tried that but it sounds fucking DELICIOUS so, thank you for that!

[–] TommyJohnsFishSpot@lemy.lol 4 points 6 days ago

I just randomly tried this a couple of weeks ago and it is delicious!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's a melt. Not a grilled cheese.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It's still a grilled cheese if you dip it, a melt if there's anything other than cheese inside.
