Grilled Cheese Sandwich

[Music] welcome back everybody and if you are new here welcome to my channel I like to post videos weekly today I'm going to make a grilled cheese sandwich as I knew it growing up and to start I'm using two slices of processed American cheese now before you go in on me in the comment section you have to admit you know this grilled cheese you grew up with it but anyways I'm also going to be using sliced white bread again nothing fancy here you definitely can use the type of bread of your choice but I'm just trying to show you what I grew up with and this is very basic so I'm also going to be using butter now if I'm going to be completely honest with you guys growing up we had a big tub of margarine that we used and that is exactly what we used on grilled cheese so this is your basic grilled cheese starter kit so before I cook them I like to preheat the pan I'm going to make them in and I am using a cast-iron skillet and I'm going to preheat it on a medium to medium low heat and nothing on high one thing I have learned about grilled cheese is that it doesn't matter how fast you want to make it you've got to give it time so that it gets a chance to get that golden brown exterior if you rush this process it will burn so first things first I am going to butter one side of each slice of bread and if you are using something with a rounded top just make sure you butter the correct side so when you close it it aligns and you know what and if you don't do that it's not going to ruin the sandwich I'm just giving you a tip so I'm going to butter it all the way to the edges even if it kind of goes over the edges that is going to toast as well and give you extra crunch and toastiness so now I'm going to put that right in my previous cast-iron skillet and both slices fit comfortably in this pan so I'm just going to put them both down then I'm going to add my cheese now that my cheese is added I am going to close the sandwich and now I'm just going to carefully bring it to a golden-brown toasty exterior and again do not be in a hurry you want to make sure you take your time to achieve that golden-brown toasty exterior and if you get impatient and turn the heat on high just know that you will probably burn it before the cheese gets to melt now another thing I do remember some family members would do when they would make grilled cheese is that they would press it down and smash the bread so if you are one of those that enjoys that go for it mash away so my grilled cheese looks exactly where I want it to be it is the color and the texture of golden brown and crunchy so now it's time to eat now you can let it cool or you can go beast mode and dive right in say what you will about this grilled cheese but I like it so right now I'm going to up the ante on my grilled cheese game and give you another variation I'm going to use two slices of sourdough bread again I'm going to butter each piece of bread I have a preheated cast-iron skillet and I'm definitely going to put my one bread slice down I think too might not fit so I'm just going to start with one and give that a head start and just a reminder I'm still working with a medium to medium low heat in a preheated pan in my opinion that's probably your best bet for making grilled cheese now the cheeses I'm going to use are Vermont sharp cheddar cheese and a smoked gouda cheese if you want to shred it that's probably better I just had thick slices of deli cheese so I just kind of ripped them apart and distributed them evenly now I'm going to add some pickled jalapenos for some spice and briny Tang I think all these flavors complement each other and it's just another variation of grilled cheese now I have to ask how do you like your grilled cheese sandwich leave comments below on your favorite combination of cheeses breads or condiments that you like to add to your grilled cheese now that this grilled cheese is done I'm ready to try a bite so I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I hope you found it helpful this definitely isn't your artisanal grilled cheese recipe but I thought you might find it helpful to see just a basic one I hope you guys give this recipe a try I hope you like it and thanks for watching you you
