This unique grilled cheese sandwich uses blue to cure the blues & puts a bit of an Italian twist on an otherwise British effort .. hence the Godfather title.

I suggest you try it - it may work well as a blues preventative for you too!

DAD'S PERFECT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES



Dad's Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwiches image

More about process than ingredients, Dad very carefully taught me how to make his grilled cheese sandwiches this way so that they came out perfect every time. :)

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pieces sourdough bread or 2 pieces potato bread
3 slices cheddar cheese (Tillamook or your favorite, but Tillamook is so darned good! Real Cheddar from England would be acc)
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Cut the slices of cheddar cheese; not too thick, but not skimpy, either; cut one slice in half.
  • Take the two slices of bread and generously butter each of them on one side.
  • Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Get yourself the cover from a Revereware saucepan, or another cover of about the same size.
  • Place one of the slices of bread, butter side down, in the hot skillet.
  • Spread 2 and a half slices of cheese on the bread, then cover it butter-side-up with the other slice of bread; eat the extra, unused half of the cheese slice.
  • Push the bread down a little with the metal spatula, then cover the whole thing up with the saucepan lid (the idea is to heat the air up underneath the lid and melt the cheese faster as you're also browning the bread).
  • Uncover every minute and check the cooking bread color- you want it golden, not burnt (no matter what Mom says - she likes 'em black for some reason).
  • When it's to the color you like, carefully flip the sandwich over, press down on it with the spatula to squish the bread and cheese together, and re-cover with the saucepan to continue melting the cheese.
  • After about 3-5 minutes of slow cooking, you'll have a wonderfully golden, melty, gooey grilled cheese sandwich!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful bread, cheese, and butter. Using quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Choose the right cheese. There are many different types of cheese that can be used in a grilled cheese sandwich, but some of the best choices include cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère. These cheeses melt well and have a great flavor.
  • Spread the butter evenly. When you're spreading the butter on the bread, make sure to spread it evenly all the way to the edges. This will help the sandwich to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help the sandwich to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking multiple grilled cheese sandwiches, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. A grilled cheese sandwich is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

The grilled cheese sandwich is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's no wonder that this sandwich has been a favorite for generations. Whether you're making a grilled cheese sandwich for a quick lunch or dinner, or as a special treat, following these tips will help you make the best grilled cheese sandwich possible.
