There's no bad time for comfort food, and it's hard to think of any meal (or snack!) that's as quick and satisfying as a crunchy, gooey grilled cheese sandwich.
The good news is that you can use any cheese you like for your grilled cheese. If it's your favorite, give it a go!

Looking around the fridge for something to eat, and noticed some sliced provolone and sliced sourdough that I bought on sale, said what the heck.
Put a slice of the bread doused with regular olive oil on one side, not extra virgin, in the broiler for about 6 minutes, took it out and added a slice of provolone, and nuked for 35 seconds.
Waited for 15 seconds to cool, folded it up and it was the gooiest cheese sandwich ever.
Mods pull if you wish.
I like swiss cheese on my grilled cheese sandwiches. With bacon, olive oil and a couple tomato slices but only if tomato is in season and it’s garden fresh.
My favorite cheese for grilled cheese is good old Government Cheese. Not kidding.
Provolone is top notch! Add a slice of ham and it’s Heaven!
Pimento Cheese
(and add bacon)
The #1 best (if you disagree, you are exercising your right to be wrong) cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches is Extra Sharp Cheddar.
BUT - I often enjoy a multi-cheese creation - using a few varieties, but always include a sharp cheddar. Gouda works well, as do several others.
American!!! Without a doubt.
Good old government cheese - was legit “American Cheese” - not just a pasteurized, processed, American cheese-like product... like most of the crap available today.
American.
Slice of crispy bacon.
Slice of fresh tomato.

Yeah, government cheese is actually pretty good as far as American cheese goes, and American cheese is the classic grilled cheese cheese as far as I’m concerned. But you gotta have canned Campbell’s tomato soup too!
Nice! I expected to get blasted by the Brie and Crossant crowd here (we know who they are).
Where do you get Government Cheese these days?
in the broiler
nuked for 35 seconds.

This isn’t grilled Biff
When I worked as a nurse my patient was Martine Bartlett she played Miss Metcalf in Splendor in the grass.
I really liked her and she told me she made grilled cheese with brie.
I got a kick out of her.
Hat’s off to you, Martine :)
I had them that way for the first time when we were in Jamaica. I’m hooked.
Now if I could only find a decent meat pie around here…

30 years ago, 3 lbs. each were given away free in city government parking lots.
Boar’s Head American cheese becomes super delicious when melted. Butter inside and outside the bread makes the sandwich as long as it’s cooked to golden perfection.
Slice of crispy bacon? SLICE? Like ONE slice? 🤔😁
White Cheddar
A lot of food snobs may turn their noses up at American cheese and white bread, but they make a hell of a grilled cheese sandwich.
