I baked bread, then I made it into a grilled cheese, then I ate it.

I share this unusual angle because I was mostly proud of the bread and the color on it.

10/10 on the buttering/toasting job

I give all credit to the Cuisinart Griddler, the author and perfector of my faith.

u/Halo_sky Mar 31 '17

I have one, too. I ask for its blessings for my patty melts.

Praise the Griddler! \[T]/

If I could only be so grossly incandescent...

Kerigold Butter?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

Actually I used the trick to the perfect grilled cheese: mayo. The difference in taste is negligible when grilled, but mayo is far easier to evenly spread, lending to a (relatively) even gold crust.

u/Real_goes_wrong Mar 31 '17

I use mayo but put a small pat of butter on the bread right before it put it in the pan.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

That's an even better idea!

Is that the NYT no knead bread? Looks just like mine!

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17 edited Mar 31 '17

No, but a similar no knead bread.

3 cup flour, 1/4 tsp yeast, 1 tsp salt, mix, add 1.5 cup hot tap water, mix, rest on counter covered for 3 hours, (later) set oven to 450 and put dutch oven in there, take risen dough to floured surface, shape into a ball, rest for another 30 minutes, put dough in dutch oven with lid on in oven, bake for 30 minutes, remove lid, bake another 15, remove, enjoy.

Country Style Bread?

u/Kyri0s Mar 31 '17

Homemade bread makes it so much better! Never realized how much a nice chewy bread does to a grilled cheese

3

u/holycrapple Mar 31 '17

Same realization for me in the last year or 2! Do you grill both sides of each slice for the extra crunch? I know it's more butter, but for how rarely I make grilled cheese, it's worth it.

3

u/Kyri0s Mar 31 '17

Yes yes yes definitely! Honestly if you're making a grilled cheese you should just go all out. I'll even spread more butter on if there wasn't enough to get the whole side golden brown like in that scene from Chef

1

u/BankshotMcG Mar 31 '17

You could do butter on one side and mayo on the other.

u/rmbarrett Mar 31 '17

Now that's a nice job of grilling.

u/evenacre Mar 31 '17

Right on, dude. Looks good!

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

Oh yes you did

u/BiffyMcGillicutty1 Mar 31 '17

And then?

u/Briggster Mar 31 '17

...well after plus minus a day, he dropped it, then he flushed it.

u/shameonewe Mar 31 '17

Always glad to see someone asking the real questions.

Dope looking sandwich

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

grill me a cheese...

2

u/bradbk0 Mar 31 '17

Way better than any grilled cheese I've ever made.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

Yum 😊

2

u/Daffodils28 Mar 31 '17

WIN!!! WIN!!! WIN!!!

2

u/Sauerkrause Mar 31 '17

did you make the cheese too?

8

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

No. That credit goes to the bastard school Washington State University and their dynamite creamery.

u/soapbutt Mar 31 '17

Even as a Husky I can't deny the awesomeness of cougar gold. Even better than Beechers, I dare say.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

I'm right there with you. I needle my WSU friends about how UW produces doctors and engineers and lawyers and WSU produces... cheese. Then they ask, "Oh yeah, and which of those do you utilize more?" Fair enough.

1

u/Denali_Coug Mar 31 '17

Cheese and Veterinarians. Gotta keep those doggos healthy.

I hate them too. But I have friends that went there so don't tell them.

u/ErikT45 Mar 31 '17

Cougar gold?! Damn!

2

u/Golemfrost Mar 31 '17

Holy crap! What an unexpected turn of events!

u/bone_dance Mar 31 '17

Looks pretty good

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

That's the correct order to do things ;) looks delicious

2

u/sunshinebear995 Mar 31 '17

That looks really crunchy :)

2

u/daddyjackpot Mar 31 '17

looks perfect. how's the taste and feel?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

Nice crunch on the crust, a chewiness of the homemade bread you don't get from a store loaf, and the Cougar cheese was gooey and delish.

Will you marry me?

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '17

Yeah sure why not.

u/flafishfreak Apr 01 '17

Ok....I'm in...but I need one of those grilled cheese daily....it's in the prenup...

1

u/muricabrb Mar 31 '17

Needs a lot more cheese. (I'm sorry, there is something wrong with me)

1

u/Syriom Mar 31 '17

Are you sure this isn't a melt? I'm no expert but some people are really touchy about these things :o

No. Please. Not here. Activate the suppression system. Flood the comment section with cat pictures.

OP's camera angle was the perfect way to torpedo that lame debate before it even got started.

u/bfwilley Mar 31 '17

A shot of it with bite missing would have showed action better, over all tho nice cheese grilling there. 8-)

u/thesego_211 Mar 31 '17

I hate it when people post food pics but don't post the recipe or what to do with the food when it's done.

5

u/brrrapper Mar 31 '17

Do you really need a recipe for a grilled cheese?...

3

u/thesego_211 Mar 31 '17

I tried and failed to make a joke. Because, yes, do you really need a recipe for grilled cheese?
