Toasted or Grilled?

Well, I grew up calling it toasted cheese... everyone else in the world called it grilled cheese... is there a difference?

 

Oven and broiler the last few seconds on each side

 

The Brits oven bake and then broil to toast the outside without butter

 

What the heck is the difference?? Momma was a Yankee and dad was a country boy. Mon called it toasted cheese dad called it grilled cheese. I didn't know there was a difference. I prefer to call it grilled cheese. Two pieces of bread, two pieces of cheese and a ton of butter in a frying pan. I know some who put mayonnaise on it. That's about as far as I think it should go. Add some tomato soup and you've got your self one o the best winter meals money can buy!

 

I don't know, ask the Brits, it' their terminology!

 

I can't believe some of what I'm reading here. It's like some of you are not Americans but come from some foreign country like New York City.

It doesn't matter what the Britishers do. There we have people who use the metric system and drink warm beer. No credibility at all.

Now, as an American, you have a right to make a sandwich any way you like. I think that's in the Constitution. But the only thing that goes in a grilled cheese sandwich is cheese.

For your information, the grilled cheese sandwich is the sine qua non of American white trash cuisine. So just in case the question should appear on your citizenship exam, I'm going to tell you how to make a GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH.

Ingredients:

Two slices of white bread-regular is best but you can use sandwich slices if you're trying to take off that last 40 pounds.

Butter,

One slice of Kraft type process American cheese-Store brand is fine. It's the same stuff.

Butter one side of one slice.
Lay it in a skillet, butter side down.
Unwrap the cheese slice and lay it on the bread.
Butter one side of the other slice of bread and lay it, butter side up on top of the cheese slice.

Cover the skillet-This helps insure that the cheese properly melts.

Turn on the heat to about medium.

When the underside is nicely browned, turn it over. Knowing the right time to turn it takes some experience. Generally, when the butter on top begins to melt. If the cheese is melting properly, the two slices of bread will stick together when you flip it.

When the underside is nicely browned, remove from the skillet and serve with canned soup.

DO NOT SLICE THE SANDWICH.

 

You can fry chicken and pork chops, but you don't fry pancakes. You sauté vegetables and you "grill" cheese sandwiches.

 

I'm having a "grilled cheese" sandwich and washing it down with a bottle of "pop" for supper.

A "toasted cheese" sandwich washed down with a "soda" doesn't sound right.

 

I love a grilled cheese with tomato soup.

BUT. My favorite cheese sandwich is a toasted cheese sandwich but with peanut butter on it instead of butter or mayo. Sounds gross I know but once you try it you'll be hooked, trust me on that.

That's pasteurized prepared cheese product

 

I used to dine on grilled cheese and peanut butter sandwiches all the time!

 

Cls74, you just ruined that sandwich. Never compress the bread and always use 2 pieces of cheese giving one a quarter turn.

I bet your one of those sadistic heathens who would toast a B.L.T too.

Unbelievable.
Lol

 

Britishers?

 

LOL! Back in the good old days we would have all jumped on that :D

 

A man has a Constitutional right to make a sandwich anyway he pleases. But a real "grilled cheese sandwich" only uses ONE slice of cheese.

Two slices is for those rich, liberal, movies stars and basketball players. We poor white trash appreciate the moral value of frugality.

 

Y'all made me do it! I woke up and had to make one!
