My only reservation is how will I dunk this in my tomater soup?

I am a bit of a grilled cheese purist. I like mine on white bread, slathered with butter (not mayo), and filled with gooey, processed American cheese. A good havarti is also acceptable if the mood dictates a touch of luxury, but harder, acidic cheeses like cheddar or parm are not allowed—unless you’re putting them on the outside of the sandwich.
he qualities that make parmesan, cheddar, and other hard cheeses like them so poorly suited for the inside of a grilled cheese are what make them so well suited for the outside. Because of their low-ish pH, these cheeses tend to grease out and congeal, rather than melt into a soft, creamy blob (which is what you want in between your bread). But when placed on the outside of a sandwich, the fat inside the cheese renders, frying the proteins and leaving behind a lacy network of crispy, salty, fried cheese. It’s frico, except it’s stuck to bread.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches. I can vary from 2 pieces of white Publix bread and two slices of processed cheese (cost? about 40 cents) to hand sliced Ciabatta w/ Gruyere.
Either way, you know it’s going to be a tasty treat.
Like the parmesan twist and will try it next time.
Since becoming lactose intolerant a beautiful sandwich like this makes me tear up a little.
I really miss cheese....
And cream of tomato soup.
Gosh I used to get these grilled provolone’s on Italian that were huge and so so good.
That sounds really good, I’ll try it!
I feel your pain.
To me grilled cheese and tomato soup is a pure comfort food
I like making’ ‘em in my little sammich-maker that will carmelize the sugars in the lightly buttered outside of the bread for extra yumminess.
bon appetite.
gotta have a thin slice of Swiss cheese with the American- to give it a little better flavor IMO
you cant take lactaid and eat a cheese sandwich?
OK
Stop it - you’re making my mouth water!
“you cant take lactaid and eat a cheese sandwich?”
A sandwich like this would require a lot of pills, and if I dose wrong I’ll be calling in to work the next day.
Not worth the risk.
ah- i never tried the stuff myself- I can eat a it of cheese, but not much- milk- no way- i should give lactaid a try though to see what happens-
my grandmother used to make them with cheddar- i never cared for them- a bit too tangy for a sandwhich for my taste- but the swiss i do like- not quite as potent as the cheddar=-
One slice of lightly buttered toast = two pills for me.
Down here in FL we have a restaurant (2) that I know of called The Grilled Cheese Gallery” they sell every imaginable kind of grilled cheese.
One is in Port St. Lucie and the other is in St. Augustine.
Been to the later, they give you a side of tomato soup for dipping.
My fav: Cheddar + Bacon + Rye
Yom!
Yom!
There was a place in San Diego called
“the chicken pot pie shop”
Dirt cheap, delicious, with 2 sides, roll and desert for under $5
