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.

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.

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!
That is a creative use of a slot toaster ... I will always prefer a toaster oven as it does open face cheese sandwiches, crisps leftover pizza, singe servings of just about any casserole ....
The thing I love best about grilled cheese sandwiches is the combination of moist and crisp from the buttered side of the bread. I used to get them from the restaurant next to the Architecture department in college. I found a grilled cheese sandwich about 10:30 pm helped me get past midnight on those long overnights in the studio.
You know, I've *never* gotten that to work. Bread burns not browns and the cheese doesn't melt, or the bread just kind of dries out and the cheese still doesn't melt. I'm no slouch in the kitchen but its something that just doesn't work for me.
Dean, do you just set that toaster up and then sit on the other side of the room with your mouth open waiting for it to pop?

Yes I do. For a GOOD grilled chesse for those that do it the right way on a griddle instead of using butter spread mayo on the butter side of the bread and cook that way.
good thought.
I often use mayo as the oil for fish on the griddle, on the grill of course.

Okay, everything in this thread sounds good, but, this has me drooling the most.
I do tend to do grilled cheese on the griddle, just a light swipe of mayo on the outside to add a bit of crunch and sweetness with the butter.
I have also has a toaster oven always. Broiled open-faced sandwiches are quite nice there, but, I typically only do that with bread I couldn't grill (like a roll or french loaf, etc).
Of course, this thread is making me hungry, and throwing off my schedule. My usual Friday lunch is a grilled cheese on texas toast with a cup of clam chowda.
Here is a video clip showing how to create a "Crab Grilled Cheese" nominated for the best sandwich in America by Adam Richman (man vs. food). It come form a restaurant in Portsmouth NH about 40 minutes away from the Autodesk office in Manchester NH.

Yuuuuummmmmmm. I need to head out to the northeast just to enjoy some of the seafood. Don't get me wrong, we have great seafood here, but...man, lobster rolls and crab grilled cheese sandwiches are hard to resist!
Jeff,
Oooh, THAT looks pretty tasty. I'm not sure it would have ever occurred to me to put crab on a gc sandwich.
Last night was leftover night in our house, but, we didn't quite have enough of each dish left over to make a full meal for all of us, so dessert was grilled cheese sandwiches on texas toast (colby jack and cheddar).
Very oozy. NOM!
Grilled Cheese for dessert? That's,... different... but I agree, NOM.
