Deconstructed Grilled Cheese Sandwichposted by maudlin at 11:26 AM on September 10, 2010 [8 favorites]
1. Thinly slice some fresh basil and coarsely shred a reasonable amount of cheddar cheese. Mix, then gently press into a patty about the size of a 3-4 ounce hamburger, fairly thin.
2. Beat an egg with a little Dijon mustard and some black pepper in a bowl large enough to hold a patty, but not too large. Put the cheese patty in the bowl and let it soak for a few minutes, flipping and basting so that the egg gets all over and some way inside the patty.
3. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, maybe some dried parsley, and, of course, some finely grated Parmesan.
4. In a hot, greased pan (butter and oil combo is great), cook the patty on one side until browned. The cheese will start oozing out a bit, so now flip it until it's brown on the other side, too.
5. EAT!
6. Go back to the kitchen, look sadly at the leftover eggs with a couple of shreds of cheese and the bit of remaining breading mixture, shrug, and pour both into the newly-hot pan and make a little bready-cheesy-eggy scramble. It will do as dessert.

[[AND I AM OUTRAGED!]]Anyhow, Grilled Cheese with : Bacon [ ] Dumb [ ] please select the first oneposted by peeedro at 9:37 PM on September 11, 2010
Apply margarine to one side of two slices of mass-produced white bread (aka "plant bread"). Put one slice margarine side down on a baking sheet. Unwrap two slices of Kraft "Singles" Process Cheese Product and put them on the first slice of bread, aligned with opposite corners of the bread. Put the second slice of bread on top, margarine side up. Note: yes, the margarine is on the outside of the sandwich.Foodies will no doubt be horrified by this, but I guess it's one of those childhood comfort food things. Two of the above sandwiches go very well with a can of Cream of Tomato soup, alternating bites of sandwich with spoonfuls of soup. The real trick is managing consumption rates to ensure simultaneous depletion of soup and sandwich.
Cook under the broiler in the oven, rack in about the middle or it goes too fast. Keep the door open and watch it cook until the bread looks toasty, then flip and cook the other side the same amount. Be warned that the interval from "toasty" to "burnt" is less than a minute. Cut in half diagonally and serve.
