I've been making these for years. After college and work, I didn't feel like washing any more dishes. I Have toasted the bread and as soon as it pops, I put the cheese on it and let it set on top of the toaster. When I was really in a hurry, I just put it in the microwave. Make sure you don't leave it in there too long, the toast gets soft very quick. Enjoy!

I do this all the time, although I don't wrap in a towel and put in the microwave. I just toast the bread and cheese together (like an open faced sandwich, then put together the bread), usually with tomatoes since I like my grilled cheese that way. Yes, it lacks that butter taste but half the time it makes my tummy uneasy and I always eat grilled cheese with ketchup anyway!

This is exactly how I've been making my grilled cheese sandwiches for years. I hate reagular grilled cheese because they are slathered in butter and way too greasy. This is so easy and it takes 1/3 of the time of normal grilled cheese!

Unreal! I cant believe this actually exists! I used to make this when I was a kid just because it was easier and less to clean up. I didnt actually think others actually did this! I hate using the microwave though so instead I used to hold the cheese above the toaster to get it warm enough that it would melt instantly when it hit the bread. I still think it taste better than a pan grilled cheese and is a little better for you. Havent done this in about 8 years now... memories.

I really thought my husband was the only one lazy enough to make grilled cheese this way!

Yummy. My ds also made them using a clothes iron in his dorm room. Necessity is the mother of invention. :)

This is a lot like a grilled cheese I made in the dorms. The exception is I just put the toaster on its side with the cheese on the bottom piece of bread. Place the plate a good foot from the front of the toaster and a "perfect" grilled cheese shoots out onto it. Nice upgrade though!

Good and easy. I'm lazy and this is easy and doesn't require butter, but you do lose that good butter taste.

I've been making grilled cheese this way for years. I stopped calling the "grilled" though, after much bickering with the hubby. We call them "nuclear cheese" now, and the kiddo loves it.

Toaster Ovens are even better - if you have one, combine the steps by putting the bread in the toaster oven with cheese on each slice. Toast, and as soon as it dings, put the slices together. Melty and yummy without the rubbery-ness that the microwave can impart.

Lol. My sister used to make this when we were little. I always found it a little dry but to fix that problem you just have to butter the toast before you microwave it.

This works great too when you just need a quick fix meal for 1. My now 10 yr old loves it because for the past 2 years now he can make his own "grilled" cheese.

When my children were younger and wanted to "cook" for themselves this was one of the first things they learned how to make. After toasting the bread throw on some tuna fish or a few slices of your favorite meat and tada it an even heartier sammy. Not to mention it allows the kiddies to eplore in the kitchen. Even now that my youngest is 11 they all still make this.

I remember doing this as a kid after school. To give it a more authentic flavor, spread a little butter on the "inside" of one slice of toast before you add cheese & microwave. As an adult I'm aware this is better for me--as a kid I was just proud to be able to "cook" grilled cheese sandwiches for my mom on soup nights :-)

Wow! When I was the only one old enough to use the stove, I taught my six year old brother to do this to get him off my back. I thought it was a joke, but he still makes it this way at college and loves it.
