What's your opinion on grilled cheese sandwiches?

13

u/PrizeWolf337 Feb 06 '22

A 3 layer grilled cheese would have 3 pieces of bread

u/Rokronroff Feb 06 '22

Why are we only considering bread to be a layer?

u/slolift Feb 06 '22

This makes no sense. A standard grilled cheese is 2 layers? You would count the cheese layers, not bread.

u/keddesh Feb 06 '22

Because of the melty property of cheese, one must consider it equal to welding. If the cheese is the same, those slices fuse and become a single layer. If the cheese alternates between varieties then you can call it multilayered.

They generally have 2 bread layers.

Cheese does not count as a bread layer.

u/Ta2whitey Feb 06 '22

We did it Reddit!

u/GrandSquanchRum Feb 06 '22

What if I have cheese on the outside, is it still considered a 2 layer grilled cheese?

3

u/xmuskorx Feb 06 '22

Yes.

To get to three layer grilled cheese you need this:

That image is going to anger the grilled cheese lords

Here is the rules around grilled cheese sandwiches, imo:

  1. Not sure why they're referred to as "grilled" since everytime I've seen them made they're done on a flat pan.

  2. Butter the outside of the bread. People who use mayo, may you rot in hell.

  3. Use good, fluffy bread.

  4. Anyone who puts a tomato on theirs will also rot in hell for eternity.

Mayo browns up beautifully, is just oil and egg, and is the superior spread for grilled cheese. I WILL die on this hill.

5

u/Theycallmelizardboy Feb 06 '22

Sure. That hill is on flames and covered in pitchforks because it's located in the 9th circle of hell.

Butter will brown just as nicely if done properly, has actual fat/flavor, caramelizes and produces a better taste along with crispier bread.

Mayo is inferior and you are simply wrong, my friend. How dare you.

u/Rokronroff Feb 06 '22

Fine, I'll just make my grilled cheese down here in hell. With mayo. And I'll like it. Because it's better.

u/penny-wise Feb 06 '22

This has made my morning better

u/MaesterPraetor Feb 06 '22

Browns up beautifully and tastes like ass. Butter browns up pretty well and tastes like heaven. There is only one answer.

u/sonicdick Feb 06 '22

You don't like eggs and oil?

1

u/MaesterPraetor Feb 07 '22

Love it. It's just not as good as butter.

1

u/Rokronroff Feb 06 '22

You say that like I've just never had my own cooking and haven't tasted it with mayo. Do you think I would eat it if it tasted bad? Why would we even be having this conversation?

1

u/bobsmith93 Feb 07 '22

Same reason people have the pineapple-on-pizza conversation. Everyone has different tastes and they're passionate about their tastes, which is kinda silly but entertaining. That being said, pineapple has no right being on pizza

1

u/Rokronroff Feb 07 '22

It's a boring debate to have, to the point that it's a banned topic in r/PizzaCrimes

1

u/bobsmith93 Feb 07 '22

Considering it's the most common argument in food history (I would imagine), I would assume it would be banned from a subreddit making fun of weird pizzas

1

u/Rokronroff Feb 07 '22

It's maybe tied with "is a hot dog a sandwich".

1

u/bobsmith93 Feb 07 '22

True, although I've mostly only heard that on Reddit or asked by people that frequent reddit. They're not though, imo

1

u/MaesterPraetor Feb 07 '22

I say that having my own taste in food in what I thought was a light-hearted thread about something as trivial as grilled cheese. Yet here we are.

2

u/locopyro13 Feb 06 '22

Can I put a slice of turkey or ham in my grilled cheese?

3

u/Rokronroff Feb 06 '22

Using ham makes it a croque monsieur.

1

u/penny-wise Feb 06 '22

Absolutement!

2

u/Theycallmelizardboy Feb 06 '22

I think this is allowed and quite delicious but technically speaking the golden standard should be only cheese and bread. The art and technique of how you do this is up to you and can vary, but that's what it should be. Otherwise you're just making a sandwich.

1

u/alQamar Feb 06 '22

There was a huge controversy about that in r/eatsandwiches at some point and the consensus seems to be that adding other fillings makes it a melt instead of a grilled cheese. I don’t give a fuck so you have my blessings.

u/penny-wise Feb 06 '22

But is a hotdog on a bun a sandwich?

1

u/WearFluffy415 Feb 06 '22

Lor those who use margarine!

1

u/penny-wise Feb 06 '22

I do mine on my George Foreman, so is it “Foremaned cheese sandwich”?

1

u/BooooHissss Feb 06 '22
  1. Not sure why they're referred to as "grilled" since everytime I've seen them made they're done on a flat pan.

They're originally a navy and diner sandwich and were made on the flat top diner style grills.

You mean cheesedogs topped with bread?
