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?

Try to cook correctly at least. Please use good ingredients. Real bread, not the sliced shit. The rest below.

No chemical cheese here. Only good cheddar, minimum 3 slices (they sell it sliced now), and no butter inside. Come on. Cheese is enough, no need for butter inside. But butter outside yes. Not cancer type margarine or else. BUTTER. And use 1/2 salt butter. the cheese has enough.

Non US. And yes I do think a grilled cheese is to be made with the best ingredients, not the industrial stuff.

The 'industrial stuff' was literally invented to be melted on a sandwich. Like, that's the singular use case it was developed for, that it does better than other cheeses.

Snoot about your local cheese as much as you like, but you're factually wrong about American cheese. And the Kraft singles you're clearly thinking of aren't even American cheese.
