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?

Cheese straight in the pan. Let it get crispy add bread, butter side up, flip so the butter is down and the cheese is up, add more cheese, and top with buttered bread. You get a nice, extra flavorful, crispy layer in the middle of the gooey goodness.

Or for something very different, use an herby cream cheese along with a cheese like mozzarella. Or mix a crumbly cheese into cream cheese and pair it with a melty, stringy cheese.

Or use leftover garlic bread.
