RWHN's Wicked-Good Grilled Cheese Sand-Witch

Okay, so in the WHN household I'm known and noted for 3 culinary delicacies:

Mac and Cheese
Coffee
and my piece de irresistance:  Grilled Cheese Sandwich. 

So, here's how I do it:

You got your bread.  I like to use a hearty bread like oatmeal, 12-grain, 7-grain, whatever.  But no white bread.  That's just wrong.

Anyhoo, I grill up some onions and peppers.  Usually Sweet Onion or Vidalia Onion and Red Peppers.  Though Orange and Yellow Bell peppers work nicely too.

For cheese: something with some kick.  My favorite is Sargento's Chipotle Jack Cheddar.  Two slices per sandwhich.

So you put your grilled veggies between the two slices of cheese and bread, butter the bread and grill.

I like to sprinkle the buttered bread with red pepper flakes, (and if I know for sure I'm not getting any that night) some garlic. 

So there you have it.  Yummy goodness.

I don't know about working, but I sure as hell will come as a customer.  You just can't go wrong with a good grilled cheese sandwich.  It's one of those "kid foods" that you just can't give up.

Oh man I love grilled cheese so freaking much.

I will definitely have to make this sometime.

The trick with cooking an ultimate grilled cheese sandwich, aside from using bread OTHER than white, is the ability to cook the bread to the diner's request.

For example, Mr. Suu enjoys his grilled cheese in a nice golden brown all over. Me? I want my bread dark, near burnt. But if you DO burn it, then it tastes like ashes and you'll more than likely set off the smoke alarm in your house.

Yeah, I'm with you.  I like it pretty dark too.  With some texture but not crispy dark.

I think once D-Cup moves up here that we need to have a grilled cheese party.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Actually, since D-Cup enjoys cooking, perhaps she may join us as Casa Richter for the Roman Banquet?

D-cup is welcome to attend!
Better with another person there to verify how the end of my apartment went down : )

Oooh. This sounds intriguing and alluring.

As well as boozemuffins, I make a spinach artichoke dip that has resulted in multiple marriage proposals, and what has been widely hailed as the best Boston Cream Pie EVAR.

I will gladly bring sacrifices!

Geez, what happens if we come and my wife ends up proposing to you?  The intrigue, the scandal!

The good news is, I currently have a 100% rate of rejecting proposals. And really, I'd hate to do anything that would jeopardize my chances of seeing more hilariously awful puns about things like spicy racks! :p

Oh dear...the next Discordian convergence is going to be in Worcester over ancient food and puns.
