BIG CHEESE SQUEEZE
A pair of cast iron skillets and a custom cheese blend are the secret to this perfect grilled cheese sandwich recipe.There are times when our appetites should be free to comfort us without having to bow to the censorship of our culinary consciousness. What could possibly get us through the winter of our discontent better than the warm embrace of melted cheese nestled between perfectly crisped bread? That's right: Nothing. I like to use a mixture of semihard and semisoft cheese here. my favorite duo is equal portions of smoked Gouda and Gruyere. Fontina and Asiago are good, too. Could you use one by itself? Sure, but working with combinations will give you the best marriage of flavor and texture. But hey, at 3 a.m., sharp cheddar will do just fine. This recipe first appeared in Season 2 of Good Eats.

Steps:
- Place two 10-inch cast-iron skillets over high heat for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread the mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with pepper, and top with the second slice of bread. Brush the bread surface with the clarified butter. Go for even coverage, but don't soak the bread or it won't brown.
- When the pans are hot, kill the heat and place the sandwich, top-side down, in the middle of skillet number 1. Brush the newly exposed bread face with butter and lay the bottom of skillet number 2 right down on top of the sandwich. Wait. In 3 to 5 minutes, you will hear the sizzle of melted cheese oozing out into the pan. (If you don't, you went skimpy with the cheese.)
- Gently remove the top skillet and use a flat metal spatula to remove the sandwich to a waiting cutting board and wait 60 seconds. You will be hungry, so at this time you may want to examine skillet number 1 for toasty little bits of cheese, which you can hungrily devour. When 60 seconds is up, you may wish to cut the sandwich in half with a serrated knife. It won't make the sandwich taste any better, but there's something about biting into that cut side that's very satisfying.

Steps:
- Oven method (great for a crowd of six or fewer): Put a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Make one sandwich per person: Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat. Place on the preheated baking sheet and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich and bake until golden brown, an additional 5 minutes.
- Panini press method (for crispy crunchy sandwich that needs minimal attention): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a panini press to medium heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and place in the press. Close the top and cook until lightly browned and the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Skillet method (fool-proof and low-tech): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, and continue cooking until browned and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Great combos:
- 1. Pepper jack and sourdough, brushed with chili oil
- 2. American and white bread, brushed with butter
- 3. Swiss and rye, brushed with mayo
- 4. Cheddar and brioche, brushed with butter

Steps:
- Generously slather one side of each piece of bread with your room-temperature butter. The buttered sides will be on the outside of the sandwich, so if your bread is a crazy shape like mine was and you want the pieces of bread to match up when the sandwich is closed, plan accordingly.
- Turn the bread over, unbuttered side up. To one piece of the bread, add a single layer of cheddar sliced 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Cover every last little bit of the bread, overlapping here and there if necessary.
- Top the sandwich with the second piece of bread, buttered side up.
- If you're using an electric griddle, set the temperature to about 275 degrees. Or use a roomy saute pan over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich on the preheated cooking surface and let it cook for about 5 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure it's not burning (it probably won't at such low heat, but cooking surfaces vary from kitchen to kitchen). It's tempting, but don't press down on the sandwich! Unless you like your grilled cheese extra flat, in that case, go for it.
- After the first five minutes, carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and cook the other side for 5 minutes.
- Flip and cook each side for a couple more minutes each. The bread should start to get golden brown and the cheese nice and melty.
- After about 15 minutes of cooking over medium-low heat, increase the heat to medium and, turning every so often, watch the sandwich carefully until the bread is perfectly toasted a golden brown.
- Remove the sandwich from the heat, carefully cut in half if you would like, and enjoy your perfect grilled cheese sandwich.

AWESOME GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES
My husband and I were sick of frying grilled cheeses on the stove because you have so many pieces of bread to use, and you have to stand there for a long time if you feed up to six people like we do. So we came up with this idea.

THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
Recipe is from "Great Grilled Cheese: 50 Innovative Recipes for Stovetop, Grill and Sandwich Maker" by Laura Werlin. Although almost everyone seems to have their own version of the "best" grilled cheese sandwich, this one defines grilled cheese as it was meant to be. The crunchy texture of the bread and the perfectly melted cheese ensure that. To create the perfect sandwich, be sure to press it firmly after you've turned it. This compresses and crisps the bread and makes the cheese-bread ratio just right.

Turn the sandwiches once more, press with the spatula again, cook for 30 seconds, and remove from the pan. Cut in half and serve immediately.
