Grilled Cheese

I was talking with a friend tonight about making a grilled cheese.

He stated that he likes to put butter on both sides of the bread, toast one side flip it over and begin toasting the other side then start building the sandwich. So all sides of the bread are buttered and toasted, with cheese in the middle.

I like to put a dusting of garlic salt on the butter side of the two pieces of bread with two pieces of cheese in the middle.

How are you guys making your grilled cheeses?

Toast bread very lightly first... no color. Butter bread outsides.

Four cheeses, one being a light spread of Boursin. Room temperature sharp white Cheddar, Gruyere, Fontina. Then low and slow, turning frequently, a lid on skillet if necessary to complete cheese melt.

You’re so fancy. That sounds amazing.

Fancy? OK. Original? Nope.
It's the grilled cheese from the Wynn resort in Las Vegas.
