Who the fuck has time for a grill.

I'm a simple man. I grill one side of the bread to a golden brown, flip it over and toast for about 30 seconds on the top side. Then I add grated cheese in abundance and let it toast until bubbling.

Cut into triangles and serve with a splash of Worcestershire Sauce.

This might be controversial so look away if you can't handle truth bombs:

Grilled cheese > cheese on toast.

I'm assuming you mean a toasted cheese sandwich, good sir.

Do you mean that american cheese sandwich that they fry in a pan?

Too much bread

Maybe, but I think most people would think "toasted under a grill" when you say that. Whereas I specifically mean "fried in a pan."

Ah, that must be why you said 'grilled'

If we're going down the road of "discussing all the ways Americans have the wrong food words" we'll be at this a while. We can segue into the non-existent word "broil" for a start.

MrsDoc has no idea why it's called a grilled cheese either. Perhaps a corruption of "griddled"?


A toasted cheese sandwich made on a Breville basically is a grilled cheese, so actually you're agreeing with me. A cheese sandwich, buttered on the outside, gently fried against a hot surface -- whether the surface is the Breville or a frying pan. Same basic thing. Texturally quite different to the canonical cheese-on-toast, and I prefer it.

BUT a Breville makes the toastie all pillowy puffy, seals it all around o prevent losing precious cheese.

The important thing is that people recognise Cholula.

Mature or extra mature cheddar with Cholula (chipotle preferably) chili sauce.

Also crumpets instead of bread ftw.

Alternatively, cheese on bread, toast under grill until cheese melted and some of the bread is burned.

Oh, I forgot my guilty secret, and some of you may find this distasteful. If any melted cheese drips off the toast into the grill pan, I will pick it out when it’s cool enough to handle and eat it. NB the grill pan is always clean before cheese on toast is prepared.

The worst people are those that don’t eat the bits of extra cheese. Don’t trust ‘em.

The Yes Chef!s' brand integrity department would like a work about your attribution.

I stand by my work.

Well yes but could you stand a little further away?

Seconded.

With the help of the Yes Chefs, this was my dinner tonight. It's like I took all their skill and talent, disregarded it, and threw some fish fingers into it and served with some anaemic chips.
