The best grilled cheese sandwich

[rt49andellis]

Since I was a kid, Mom always just buttered the bread for our grilled cheese. Well, now, after discovering olive oil, I can't imagine eating another buttered grilled cheese.

Olive oil & some peppercorn medley ........ then walmart cheese! Man oh man..........

Speaking of which, are any of you as addicted to walmart cheese as I am? Ya know, the stuff in the black package. That stuff is awesome. Melts better than ANY cheese I've ever used.

Grilled cheese with mozzarella, basil, sliced tomatoe on thick italian bread made with olive oil - it is sooooooooooo good.

Thanks

Mmmm...both of those sound really good. I'll have to try that. I was thinking that puting oil in the pan would be easier than butter, but I never tried it. I will definately try it next time I have grilled cheese.

I never liked cheese or other milk product.
I have kind of allergy of it. So no experience on these foods.

I got my grilled cheese recipe from Rachael Ray - http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._26994,00.html

Oh but the fat in in cheese. I would have to use the reduced fat cheese

yes - putting oil in is SO MUCH easier than trying to spread butter. No ripped bread for the kids *clears her throat* and hubby to gripe about.

I always just put a little in the pan, put the bread in and spin it so it'll give it a nice coat, and go through all the bread & do the same. Just make a stack of the bread and get set to go.

Watch your temp when doing this though cuz the oil cooks alot faster than the butter... and any oil on the pan will turn "icky" then you'll have gripers again. LOL

Wow, I thought I could make a great grilled cheese sandwich. I will be trying some of these ideas next time I make one.
