4. American "cheese food". I don't think it really qualifies as cheese.

[debm55]

8. Thank you very much, LoisB. That's the kind I used to use. We will count it as cheese. Enjoy.

5. Whatever happens to be in the fridge.

We have a lovely little sandwich maker that works with almost any cheese. My favorite (when I can afford the splurge) is St. Angel triple cream brie and a lovely fig goat cheese with a bit of fig jam to enhance the fig taste on whole grain bread. mmmmmmm.....😋😋😋

[debm55]

14. OH , that sounds terrific. Thank you very much for sharing with us, mwmisses4289, Enjoy.

7. Xtra sharp cheddar

And Guyere. Dipped in my " feel good" soup. 1 can each tomato and veg beef, half can milk or cream, and a few squirts of worsteshire. It's just a warm, creamy, and slightly tangy addition to the cheese.
Dang debm, now I gotta run to the store!!!!

[pat_k]

12. I like havarti or munster. Nice melt. And a little dijon...

Sourdough bread. And spread Mayo on the outside before frying in butter for a nice, crispy, crust.

[debm55]

19. Thank you very much for your choices, pat_k, I like your idea of the mayo on the outside. Enjoy.

13. There are so many great options

Some of my favorites:

Cheddar with Bacon
Fontina with ham
Mozzarella with pimiento
Pepper Jack with Jalapeno slices

Then there's this:

RICOTTA TRY THIS
This sandwich tastes almost like a pie or tart, with creamy ricotta and sweet
bursting blueberries. Any excuse to have a dessert for breakfast is a good idea
in my book!

SERVES 1
PREP TIME 15 mins
COOK TIME 8–10 mins

INGREDIENTS

40 g/1½ oz blueberries
1 tablespoon honey, plus extra to serve
3 tablespoons ricotta
Drop of vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of ½ lemon
½ tablespoon butter
2 slices brioche
Sprig of thyme, leaves stripped

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6 (400 F). Put the blueberries on a baking tray, drizzle with the honey and roast
for 7–10 minutes until just bursting.

2 In a bowl, mix the ricotta, vanilla and lemon zest together, trying not to over-mix and loosen the mixture too
much.

3 Spread the butter sparsely onto both slices of brioche and turn them over. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly
over one slice, scatter over the roasted blueberries and the thyme leaves and place the other slice of brioche
on top, butter side up.

4 Place a frying pan over a low heat, add the sandwich and cook gently for 4–5 minutes each side until golden
brown. Serve drizzled with extra honey.

But after seeing a recipe for the Disneyland grilled cheese I'm trying that next: chedder, provolone and mayonnaise. Slurp!

[debm55]

24. Thank you very much for your choices, nuxvomica. That Disneyland recipe sounds wonderful. Enjoy.

[EverHopeful]

27. Funny you should ask

Had some mozzarella left over from a previous meal so I figured, what the heck, it's cheese and I love grilled cheese sandwiches. Really liked it. A bit messy but who doesn't love a bit of mozzarella mess?

[debm55]

30. Thank you very much, EverHopeful. It sounds wonderful. Will you try it again?

[EverHopeful]

35. Yes

Still have some mozzarella and will do it again next time there's some in the house.

28. Always At Least 3, Usually 4

I made them Tuesday, with a tomato/basil bisque.
Cheddar, Swiss, Mozzarella, and Gouda were the cheeses.
Plus, I added 2 very thin slices of tomato on the sandwiches prior to grilling.
Used 5 whole grain bread.
Then, I put them on a 180° oven for 10-15 minutes to get the cheese really melty.

[debm55]

31. My mouth is watering. Thank you very much, ProfessorGAC for sharing with us. I think I am going to try it.

enjoy.

33. Anything but American

But generally sharp cheddar

American cheese is an abomination.

I said what I said.
