Okay, Mike - I was looking for a baked cheese sandwich and came across this. Then, I was curious to find out why in the title this was a favorite? THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I MAKE MY GRILLED CHEESE! I did not know there was a recipe for a basic grilled cheese? Then, again I think I have seen recipes on here for baked potatoes and fried eggs. I haven't come across toast yet, but haven't looked! Either way, I use somewhat less butter and sometimes 1 1/2 pieces of cheese. Cook the grilled cheese on no higher than 5 and only flip once. No flattening the grilled cheese with a spatula either! Follow this and you will get a buttery crispy delicious grilled cheese.

I've pretty much made this before I knew it was a recipe on this site. This time, I followed the recipe exactly, using unsalted butter and Honey Wheat bread. I found the results to be OK, nothing special. First, I thought there was too much butter - 1 T. might've been enough. Second, the "medium-high" heat seemed to be too much - the edges of the bread quickly turned black, before the cheese was fully melted. This is a simple sandwich, I know, but that was my particular experience. Thanks anyway.

Not everyone is raised learning how to cook. One thing I LOVE about this site is sharing the differences and regional varieties to things I've become accustomed to while growing up. My sons are in their early-mid 20's and never "grasped" what I tried to teach; except they both prefer making their own meals rather than having fast food - therefore I think this is a fantastic addition to AR family! Thanks for sharing this staple recipe - my boys sure appreciate it too!

This is one of my favorite classic sandwiches. I stick some dill pickle chips in the sandwich after the cheese is melted. Yummy!

This is the BEST way to make a grilled cheese - the secret is using real butter, not margarine, softened and smoothed on all the way to the crust's edge - I switch out american cheese with shredded mozzerella and sprinkle the inside with a touch of garlic powder and pre-mixed "italian seasoning" in a jar for a yummy italian-style sandwich.

The basic grilled cheese, but when I was pregnant; I couldn't get enough cheese. Soooo I added cream cheese on one of the inside layers of bread after I put it on the pan and put the cheese on top of the cream cheese. Still love it to this day.

Allrecipes wouldn't be truly have all recipes without this one, and I wouldn't have thought to cook it had I not run across it while in stump as to what to make. Try some variations based upon what is available to you, and what you like in a normal sandwich, always good!
