WHAT IS GRILLED CHESSE?
Throughout the creation of this blog, I have had debates with many of my friends regarding what can actually qualify as a grilled cheese. For example, is cheese and salami a grilled cheese with salami or a salami sandwich with cheese? I asked a couple of my friends what a grilled cheese is to them and here are some of the answers!
"A sandwich consisting of melted cheese between two slices of bread"--Russell Silver
"A delicious sandwich appropriate anytime, day or night, that consists of two slices of buttery toasted bread surrounding the cheese of your choice melted to perfection."--Alex Meyerowitz
"A cheese sandwich that is grilled until the bread is crucnhy and the cheese is perfectly melted. It can include tomato, avocado, bacon, or other condiments and different types of cheeses. Can also be doubled deckered or sometimes tripple deckered and can be on any type of bread you prefer"--Jessie Singer

"2 slices of bread with your preference of cheese in the middle (generally 1-2 slices of processed cheese, but any other cheese could work if you wanted to be all hipster) and then grilled on a hot pan or sandwich maker until the cheese in the middle is melted. It goes great with a tall glass of milk and ketchup as a condiment. Some people even like to include bacon or tomato if they want to get fancy"--Robbie Raskin
"Melty chiz between bread"--Nicole McLean
"Toasted bread with melted cheese"--Tori Meyerowitz
"Two pieces of bread with cheese in the middle pressed together via a grill.
But, more abstractly, a melted cheese sandwich. This is compared to a "melt", which is open faced."--Matthew Stephan |
"A sandwich consisting of bread and cheese that is grilled. Other toppings are allowed, but then it may become a grilled sandwich of another kind depending on the ratios."--Marlee Vinegar
"Two pieces of thickly sliced challa buttered to perfection, toasted over a hot pan. Between the bread is two slices of fresh, not processed, cheese, marbled or chedder. Cooked until the cheese oozes form the sides."--Sam Berns
"A classic go-to for children and adults, the combination of buttery bread and melted cheese is a match made in heaven. the grilled cheese sandwich is that rare thing that is beautiful in its simplest form."--Daniel Hoffer
