Grilled cheese is pretty basic. It’s awesome, particularly when you grill the bread just right, on butter in a pan, and the cheeses ooze out to give you those crisp chunks you can chow on when you scrape the remains off the grill.
Still, grilled cheese is grilled cheese. Pretty basic. Good for kids. They love it. If you want to spice it up, get others to try something new, here are some thoughts.
First, get some green onions (those long tall thin ones in the produce section) and cherry tomatoes. Chop up the onions. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Layer both on your bread.
For the cheese, used grated cheddar or your favorite cheese (might as well mix it up). Cover the tomatoes and onions with the cheese.
Slap some butter in the frying pan, put the sandwich in, cover the top. Watch it closely, so it doesn’t burn. Flip when brown. Pull it out when the second side is brown. If the cheese is not completely melted, you can cut the sandwich in half and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
What do you get? You get a grilled cheese sandwich, with some of the attributes of pizza. It’s got more flavor. It has some zest.
Try it. Give some to your kids.
they gag, hey, more for you.
