1. Why is fat spread on the bread different than fat poured in the pan? The sandwich comes out different depending your method here. 1A. Which method do you prefer?

  2. What fat do you use? Butter? Mayonnaise? Some super cool other thing that I haven’t tried? Again the sandwich comes out different, both in flavor and texture depending on the fat of choice.

  3. Best cheese and bread for the sandwich?

    1. (Pure opinion) I feel like there’s a difference in the level of saturation in the bread before the toasted patina forms. Spread before soaks deeper, in the pan seems to crust faster and thinner.

    2. Butter, unless we’ve got a duck hen laying at inopportune times. Then it’s duck egg mayo.

    3. Grilled cheese sandwiches are a near-perfect conveyance mechanism for soups. For us, tomato soups get sharp cheddar, butternut and acorn squash soups tend to get a provolone, and I’m fond of smoked cheeses for pumpkin soup. Sourdoughs are great but we’re also fans of cracked wheat breads.

      I prefer mayo, spread on the bread. Any type of melty cheese will work, no hard like provolone or super crumbly liek feta. Any bread can also make a good grilled cheese. I have had amazing Swiss and rye grilled cheese. I also consider a cheese quesadilla a grilled cheese and I make those often as well!

      Love duck eggs never had duck egg mayo.

    My goto for grilled cheese is butter, premelted and mixed with garlic powder, oregano and black pepper. Fresh garlic is even better when I’m not too lazy, but grilled cheese is comfort food so I usually just want to make it and eat it ASAP. My goto bread is sourdough and my goto cheese is fresh mozzarella. I make a really thick tomato soup to go with it, by making Campbell’s condensed tomato soup with heavy cream instead of water and adding lots of herbs and spices. It might as well be a tomato cream sauce.

    Because apparently I want grilled cheese to just be pizza.

      I’m glad this is of value to someone other than me. Moslty I really liek grilled cheese. Was slightly curious about the science of fat in pan vs fat spread on bread. To my brain, it’s shouldn’t make a difference where the fat starts, but it does.

      Adding in, I think the egg in the mayo definitely enhances the flavor and texture, more that the pure fattyness or another source.

        very “airy” bread, lots of butter (on the bread), at least two kinds of cheese (provolone is a favorite), always cooked on our trusty cast iron skillet. i like to dip mine in ketchup like a heathen, but i’ll do soup if i’m sick.

        i also once had a mac and grilled cheese from a food truck. that was killer.
