Someone was trying to tell me today that mozzarella cheese was a better choice for a grilled cheese sandwich than cheddar or American.
Don’t worry, I think he’ll be quite safe once the angry mob carrying pitchforks and torches have securely locked him in the nearest isolated tower for his own protection.
So let's go ahead and make this the #QuestionOfTheDay: What's the best cheese to use in a grilled cheese sandwich?
I like the classics -- cheddar, American cheese -- but I also really like Havarti with a bit of dill.
@IanG_Richardson @GaryPoole while absolutely delicious, goat cheeses don't melt properly to give the right consistency for a grilled cheese sandwich.
your definition of 'classic' might be a little rigid too. Classic cars are 20th century. Classic rock is too. you might be thinking of 'classical'.
@IanG_Richardson @GaryPoole sounds about right. i reject American cheese on principle, even on grilled cheese. I mean, that's the only place it's passable, but so many other cheeses can elevate the gc sammich to sublime levels of deliciousness. My favorite right now is a truffled white cheese that tends to crumble a bit + mozzarella for consistency. But the bread must be seedy --no white bread. I am fancy.
@IanG_Richardson @GaryPoole oh that sounds amazing in a gc. i've probably had that combo in a tomato pie-- I tend to just grab whatever cheeses I have on hand to layer in between sliced tomatoes, baked in a pie crust. bleu always adds a nice depth to the flavor *chef's kiss*
@IanG_Richardson My wife hates goat cheese. She says it tastes like a goat smells. 😂
@GaryPoole american with just a touch of cheddar and/or swiss.
Rye bread preferred.
Mayo on the grilling side.
Bacon and/or tomato add-ons when available
@GaryPoole
Provolone, with smoke flavor
@GaryPoole
Cheddar and pepper Jack.
