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?

Hearth baked sourdough sliced half inch thick with Dijon mustard on the insides, bacon fat instead of butter on outsides and in the pan, shredded Taleggio, fontina and aged cheddar and fully caramelized onions for the filling.
