The good grilled cheese


Recommended Posts

This isn't something my family does

but I'm learning

This relatively easily pronounced as well as quickly eaten object of cooking desire is a little more difficult to cook than I realized.

Is there a cheese grill aficionado in the house>?

2 slice of bread, 1 slice of cheese in-between. Stick into microwave for a minute. Check if cheese melted well enough for you or adjust the timer.

Use bread out of a toaster for solid crust. Stick 2 slices per toaster slot - for only outer crust on the “sandwich”.

Add ketchup and/or sausages for making tiny hotdog burger snacks.

How to translate BackcamemberT?

 

Deep fried mold cheese?

 

Here you can buy them pre-fried and deep frozen, sort of fast food. Or you make them yourself, then it can be a delicatesse.

 

English recipe:

Better, butmore complicated:

skin the cheese, form rolls or balls instead of wedges.

 

Caution maths:

A ball or roll has less surface than a wedge, so less fat attached after frying.

Camembert cheese , rolled in a quirled egg, dusted with bread crumbs, fried

served with a sauce from Preiselbeeren (cowberries?, mountain cranberries?)

I add: throw some parsley into the hot oil and fry it for some seconds to get it soft and tasty

I was not pranking anyone. That’s just how we do it when we run out of food, with only cheese and bread left. We use old soviet electric stoves, so it takes too long too heat up small meals.

 

The wikipeadia states that the dam thing was “perfected” in 1920s, so of course it wouldn’t involve a microwave. But nowadays why do flipping and wait an extra 10 minutes when you can be easily satisfied with a lesser faster result?

Here is how I do it, hopefull will be helpful for all

Honey-Basil Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
4 slices multigrain bread (I used Vital Vittles 12-Grain)
6 strawberry tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced with a sharp knife
10 slices fontina cheese, cut with a cheese slicer
12 to 16 large basil leaves
Honey to taste
Butter (to coat bread for grilling)

Directions
Makes two sandwiches.
To make each sandwich, spread one side of each slice of bread with desired amount of butter.
On the opposite side of two of the slices, spread a generous amount of honey, just enough to cover the surface.
Divide the tomatoes between the two sandwiches and arrange the slices on top of the honey. Then, lay four slices of fontina cheese on top of each tomato-topped slice.
Divide the basil leaves between the two sandwiches and lay atop the fontina. Then top each basil-covered slice with the sliced mozzarella. Top with remaining bread slices, butter side up.
Over very low heat, preheat a skillet then grill the sandwiches one at a time. To ensure the cheese melts evenly, cover the skillet with a lid while cooking. Grill each side for about 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

For what it's worth, I'm a member of the "Nuke it till it glows" club. Why go through all that cleanup involved with a greasy pan when you can just use stray electrons to heat the cheese from the inside and be done with it!?

Heh. I'm still surprised at the microwave idea. Almost made the same post again before I realized I'd already posted in this thread.

 

I make these all the time. I make the cheese sandwich first. I usually use Colby Jack or Sharp Cheddar. Doesn't really matter if sliced or shredded or just chunks, so long as it's even thickness more or less. It's going to melt anyway. I also kind of squish the sandwich together really tight so it stays together. Doesn't need to look pretty.

 

I melt some butter in a pan, get it nice and hot just before it starts to turn brown and sizzle, then put the sandwich in. Move it around a little so the butter coats the bread entirely. Brown on one side, flip, add some more butter, brown on the other side.

 

I guess maybe since it's just me a single bachelor washing a single buttery pan once a day isn't that big of a hassle since it takes all of 1 minute.

Something fast and along the lines of a grilled cheese. It only has 2 ingredients and yummy and rich like a grilled cheese but even easier. Is it possible to be easier? Yes. I look out for coupons or sales on the brie or camembert cheese I use and I always have the premade biscuit dough that is made by pillsbury or my grocery brand that comes in tubes. This biscuit dough some shapes or kinds you twist open the tube and it pops open and some you press a spoon that breaks the seal of the tube and it pops open.

 

So you open the dough and it is in pieces sometimes 8 small or 5 big depending on the type. Now you open the brie or camembert and I like to slightly trim off that coating or skin on the cheese because I am not so sure about that skin. Then I cut the cheese into pieces and a piece for each bit of dough and then just make the dough surround the cheese piece by working it in your hand. Then bake in the oven 10 or so minutes till the cheese is bubbling out a bit and the dough is a little browned. If it's just to feed myself I don't cook all of them maybe just have 1 or 2 and save the others in the fridge so they can be fresh out of the oven to eat some other time.

 

They are as rich and delicious as a grilled cheese. And very easy to make and easy to keep or store the biscuit dough tubes on hand in the fridge. With any luck the third ingredient could be a glass of wine!
