A few grilled cheese questions.
A few grilled cheese questions.
-
Why is fat spread on the bread different than fat poured in the pan? The sandwich comes out different depending your method here. 1A. Which method do you prefer?
-
What fat do you use? Butter? Mayonnaise? Some super cool other thing that I haven't tried? Again the sandwich comes out different, both in flavor and texture depending on the fat of choice.

Best cheese and bread for the sandwich?

I guess we just call it cheese on toast here, & seems less complicated... I just put a slice of bread in the toaster, once its done, put some cheese ontop, a nice mature cheddar, pop it under the grill, until the cheese is bubbling, job done. Nice with bit of brown sauce ontop...
Cheese on toast is different, also tasty. But toasted VS fried in fat bread is a world of difference. I recommend you try an American style grilled cheese.
I wonder if that's what we'd call Eggy fried bread 🤔, which is also very good....now I've made myself hungry..🤦🏻♂️😅
Describe eggy fried bread? Couldn't be what I would call French toast? This is heat butter in pan, beat egg in wide bowl, maybe with some vanilla, dregs a slice of bread, both sides in egg, fry in butter until golden yellow. Add sweet topping like a compote or maple syrup or powdered sugar, enjoy.
Grilled cheese is 2 slices of bread, with a fat, and a cheese. Coat one side of bread in fat, put fat side down in pan. Put cheese on bread, coat one side of other slice of bread in fat, place fat side up on top of cheese. When bottom slice of bread gets golden, flip entire sandwich and fry until the other side is golden. Remove from heat and enjoy.
Ahhh yes, Eggy fried bread, is French toast, I forgot we were talking about cheese..😅. I'll definitely try grilled cheese as you described, sounds good. I'll be experimenting in the morning..cheers👍🏼
Eggy fry bread makes a tasty sandwich base. Throw some ham and cheese between the slices.
The sheer variation in bread and cheese pretty much guarantees a combination for anyone that eats bread and cheese. Would love to hear what you come up with! Please report back. Also, is this your first Exposure to the grilled cheese concept? I'm really Interested in knowing your experience. I grew up with them, someone coming to them later in life is going to have an interesting take.
I grew up with Cheese on Toast, or ham & cheese toasties, but never in the way you've described, so will certainly give it a go... French toast or eggy fried bread would be a good base to add some cheese, ham or other filling & turn into a sandwich..🤔
Give it a go, they are incredible comfort food with so many variation and super fast.
And check out a Monte Cristo sandwich. When done right they are great.
I'll have look up Monte Cristo, might even give YouTube a look, sounds like ill have some better options than the my usual go to... cheers
