ketchup on a grilled cheese? well if that's what you like, i use garlic
and oregano with sharp cheddar on white rye.

I've heard a number of posters speak of grilled cheese with a slice of
tomato, but never with ketchup!

I've never tried ketchup, but I have used Asian garlic chili paste.

I like my grilled cheese to be just that - grilled cheese. Okay, sometimes
I want a grilled cheese with thinly sliced ham 🙂

I like my "grilled" cheese browned slowly (to allow proper cheese
meltage) in butter on a hot iron skillet. kev

I am not a big ketchup fan and would never consider using it on a grilled
cheese sandwich. However, when in season, I'll use nice, ripe fresh
tomatoes.

Just what I was going to say. Ripe, pan-warmed, and well drained. In
the middle of the grilled cheese, e.g. with melted cheese on both pieces
of bread. Heavenly.

The only think I like on grilled cheese is butter.

Of course! I prefer cheddar cheese slices (not cheese-food) and make it a
couple of slices so it is nice and gooey melted when the sandwich is nicely
browned in butter on both sides 🙂

Once and awhile, I'll make my grilled cheese sandwich with Tomato, and
sprinkle a little oregano too.

For dunking with grilled cheese, Ham+Cheese I'll on occasion use HP, or
Daddies Sauce. mark

I like to put slices of tomato and Spanish onion in my grilled cheese
sandwiches.

I am not much of a ketchup fan. There are a few things I like it for.
Grilled cheese or Western sandwiches should always be served with a little
ketchup for dipping, and it is pretty good on Macaroni and Cheese.

Ditto here. ;-)

Oh lordy, I have fresh live basil in the greenhouse ATM.
This sounds downright decadent!

I like mine with at least three different kinds of melty, gooey cheese. We
usually have cheddar, swiss and mozzarella on hand, so that's usually what I
end up with. Ham always *sounds* good on the sandwich, but every time I do
that, it's not comfort food anymore. I dunno why. I never finish a ham and
cheese. Now, a crab melt or tuna melt.......... different story altogether!

Oh, and if I make a grilled cheese, it's almost like a rule to dip it into
tomato soup. Dunk it right in, like a donut in coffee. <g>

Grilled Havarti on pre-toasted 9 grain bread.
I use the electro-grill...

Brie with roast beef, grilled, is also excellent.

Jewish rye is interesting with colby-jack.

Butter only for that one, but fresh basil might work also!

Geeze, y'all are making me hungry for grilled sammiches when I'm trying
to psyche myself into going back to low carb! :-)

STOP IT I TELL YOU!!!!!! <lol>

My hubby made me a grilled cheese yesterday morning and put it on low-carb
bread. Tasted just fine.

When I low carb tho', I have to go below 20 grams per day to be able to
stay in Ketosis. :-(

Even "low carb" bread is out.

<sigh>

Some of the low carb tortillas work tho'.

Cheers!

are you like super hungry to where an old shoe would taste good?

a pigs ass tastes good if it's cooked right
