Grilled Cheese Sandwiches > Wiki
The Grilled Cheese sandwich is a type of food where cheese is placed between two slices of bread that is fried, toasted, or broiled.
The practice of creating a hot cheese sandwich (where the bread is toasted and the inside cheese is heated to a point of melting) began in the 1920s as sliced breads and processed cheeses became more widely available. The original versions, however, contained one slice of bread, topped with cheese. The practice of adding a top, toasted slice of bread became popular in the 1960s. A cold version, without toasting and melted cheese, is simply called a cheese sandwich.
Today, the grilled cheese sandwich is a very popular food in the US with a grilled cheese convention held annually in Los Angeles in its honor.

Basically two pieces of toast with melted cheese between them. Even better with chicken and tomatoes! How can something so simple be so good?

Marble coby = best for grilled cheese! Ever! I've tried all the cheddar and I must say, it is indeed the best cheese for the job. It melts well, and has a wonderful taste only it could bring!

Buttering the bread is a must. I like using Alvarado St bread with a combo of jalapeno jack and cheddar. MMMMMMM

The use of multiple cheeses and good bread are the keys.

Toast the outsides of the grilled cheese. It makes a better crunch for when you dip it in tomato soup!

Try adding veggies. A slice of fresh tomato, a slice of lettuce and a couple of pickles will really set off the standard grilled cheese and take it from toddler to adult in an instant!

I like the versatility and creative posibilities of grilled cheese. My favorite, at present, is sourdough bread with gruyere cheese served with a roasted red pepper and tomato soup.
