The Break Room (Non-Technical Discussions)

See picture attached, the quick and easier way: I did this version last night with one slice of American Cheese and one Slice ot Gouda. Very tasty.

I still like grilled cheese even though we practically lived on them when we were first married. But the last few toasters we've had have grills that come in and hold the bread. So it looks like that would be messy for us.

You've given me an idea though. I might try grilled cheese on our wood stove this weekend if temperatures are cold enough to get it up to full temperature.

Griddled only; with soft butter that can be spread on the outside of the soon to be toast.

Slice of good Virginia salt cured ham is heaven in there. (But then its a sandwich. )

On the griddle, with colby-jack and muenster cheeses, thick sliced bacon, and shredded parmesan on the outsides which gets nicely carmelized and crispy while cooking it.  Served with tomato soup or bisque, of course.

Where's that dang double Kudos BUTTON!

Nice. We should not be talking about food so early in my a.m.!

Since we've gone a little far a field of the standard grilled cheese. I'll offer up this I got from my Mother. Called the Cheese Dread. It's probably from depression era cooking.

A slice of twice toasted bread with a slice of cheese, 2 thin slices of tomato and a slice of bacon halved. Place under the broiler until the cheese melts and the bacon sizzles. Two of those would make a dinner.

ok,... suddenly I have the munchies, and a craving for bacon.... why is that?

You toast the bread TWICE and then put it under the broiler?  It doesn't end up burnt (especially leaving it under the broiler long enough for the bacon to cook)?

I LOVE a GC sandwich with dill pickles in it (but I don't put them in while it's cooking).

I butter two slices of bread and put them both on the griddle butter side down, add a slice of cheese to each.  While that's cooking, I rough chop a small dill pickle (or part of a bigger one and eat the remainder).  Just before taking the GC off the griddle, I put the pickles in the cheese on one side and flip the other side over on the first.  YUM!

No. It didn't burn. The cheese back then was very greasy. You'd toast the bread on light twice so that it would be dry enough to stand up to the grease. The bacon may have been cooked before hand. It's been quite a while since I helped make them.

I also like grilled Tuna sandwiches. You fry them in Mayo!

Hey! I haven't had breakfast yet and I LOVE GRILLED CHEESE.

You people are torturing me!
