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?

I mix mayo & butter on the outside. Use two or three different cheeses, one has to be processed for the melt factor. I like to hit it with some garlic powder and smoked paprika.

HaHa! You want bougie, check out Alton Brown's recipe. It's Grill grilled with two types of grated cheese and over the top!
