Dads Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat skillet over medium heat. Generously butter one side of a slice of bread. Place bread butter-side-down onto skillet bottom and add 1 slice of cheese. Butter a second slice of bread on one side and place butter-side-up on top of sandwich. Grill until lightly browned and flip over; continue grilling until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining 2 slices of bread, butter and slice of cheese.

THE ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except bread and butter in a medium bowl.
• Butter one side of each slice of bread.
• Put sandwiches together using about 1/2 cup of filling each.
• Place buttered side of bread on the outside of sandwich.
• Toast on griddle or in skillet until a deep golden brown. Make sure you cook this slowly over low to med-low heat, so that the inside has a chance to melt before the outside gets too done. Kick up the heat when it gets going.
• *Depending on the size of your bread, this makes 6-10 sandwiches.

DAD'S PERFECT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut the slices of cheddar cheese; not too thick, but not skimpy, either; cut one slice in half.
• Take the two slices of bread and generously butter each of them on one side.
• Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Get yourself the cover from a Revereware saucepan, or another cover of about the same size.
• Place one of the slices of bread, butter side down, in the hot skillet.
• Spread 2 and a half slices of cheese on the bread, then cover it butter-side-up with the other slice of bread; eat the extra, unused half of the cheese slice.
• Push the bread down a little with the metal spatula, then cover the whole thing up with the saucepan lid (the idea is to heat the air up underneath the lid and melt the cheese faster as you're also browning the bread).
• Uncover every minute and check the cooking bread color- you want it golden, not burnt (no matter what Mom says - she likes 'em black for some reason).
• When it's to the color you like, carefully flip the sandwich over, press down on it with the spatula to squish the bread and cheese together, and re-cover with the saucepan to continue melting the cheese.
• After about 3-5 minutes of slow cooking, you'll have a wonderfully golden, melty, gooey grilled cheese sandwich!

DAD'S GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut thin slices of tomato, set aside. Slice bread to desired thickness. Thinly slice the cheese to be used in the sandwich. Dab the pan side of the bread slices with the melted margarine so that one side of each slice is well coated. Place the thinly sliced cheese on the uncoated surface of one of the slices of bread until desired amount of cheese has been placed. Top the cheese with 1-2 slices of the thinly sliced tomato. Sprinkle a little salt or pepper on top if desired. Place the other slice of bread on top so that the uncoated surface of the bread slice faces the cheese. Preheat a pan on low to medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and heat slowly, flipping it occasionally, until the bread (margarine side-out) is toasty on both sides of the sandwich and the cheese inside has melted.

CLASSIC GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place two slices of bread on a clean work surface, and cover each with a layer of cheese; top with remaining bread slices, pressing gently to adhere. Generously butter both sides of each sandwich, spreading it all the way to the edges.
• Place sandwiches on the griddle or in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side and the cheese has completely melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once. Before removing from griddle, flip sandwiches to reheat first side, about 15 seconds. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half; serve immediately.
