A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.
You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

You know what's funny? The fact that Mercutio's one-liners usually aren't funny. Most online Mercutio one-liners are better than the cannon ones.
I'm sure there's a great one-liner somewhere around here...

Don't be too tasty - bacon comes from pork. Also, pork generally doesn't taste like bull. Bull is a leaner meat and so it could never be used as a bacon with a straight face or a flat skillet (no pun intended).

I have to confess something. You might have noticed that u/grilled_cheese is taken. This is one-hundred percent my fault. You'll notice if you investigate that the account has very little if any activity at all. I made that account some two years ago and immediately forgot the password. I can't even discontinue the account to free up the username for someone else and I actually feel a bit bad about it.

But would it be a melt if things like tuna is added to an already made grilled cheese or even sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. It would instead be a grilled cheese and tuna, and not a tuna melt.

You're thinking of Italian, but we're speaking English here. In English, panini is a widely-accepted singular. I would go so far as to say that panini is the definitive singular for that in English.

As with other language rules, pluralization rules aren't set in stone, but rather based on usage. Loan words like this are in even more of a gray area, and that's fine. If a language stops changing, it's because the population of speakers has become very small and you should expect it to die. cough Latin cough

Right. But it's been loaned into English like a LOT of other words. The noun "skate" was borrowed from a North Germanic word skaats, plural skaatsen, until we decided the s at the end was not appropriate for a singular noun. People still speak languages where it's schaatsen. Where would you draw the line for your pluralization rules?

When I was a kid my mom called them toasted cheese but now we call them grilled cheese. Fuck_Blue_Shells is absolutely, 100% correct. Bread, butter and cheese. Grill til medium brown with nicely melted cheese. Serve.

CricketPinata ยท 145 points ยท Posted at 22:08:46 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I think that's a grey area. Sandwiches generally aren't named after their spreads.
I would argue as long as it's oil or butter based, it still classifies as a spread and can be substituted for the butter, without changing the classification.
It isn't called a "butter melt", pesto is generally spread in a thin layer same as butter, so it by extension wouldn't be a pesto melt either.
In my opinion either replacing or altering the spread with a sauce, or spread of some sort still allows it to maintain it's classification.
Perhaps with the addendum of (in this example), "Pesto Grilled Cheese" or "Grilled Cheese with Pesto Spread".
If it isn't something that can be spread onto the bread with a knife or spoon, I would say that it's an extra topping, and thus you're either getting a grilled sandwich with cheese and ____ territory, or melt territory.

Butter melt sounds incredible. Where do I get one?
CricketPinata ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 22:48:07 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Hmm... I would maybe start with perhaps a more mild cheese, maybe something like an Edam, shred it.
Then get a small amount of panko, maybe a few teaspoons, and a cup of a european-style butter, and an ounce of cream-cheese. Cream the butter and cheese together while they are room temp, slowly add the panko and edam.
Take this spread and set it aside.
You can do two things here... Either make a traditional grilled cheese, using the spread as both spread and filling.
OR you could do a monte criso-style fried sandwich, dipping it in eggs and flour and frying it in more butter and some olive oil "french-toast" style.
The spread will melt into the bread, leaving only the small amount of edam in it, so you will want to have a thick bread that won't fall apart, and can take it without making the outside too greasy.
But the flavor of this would be more focused on the butter and cream elements, and less focused on the very mild cheese flavors that would be there only to provide accents.
I don't know that's just my first impulse on making a butter focused sandwich, thinking about it some more may lead me into a different direction.
I've also never tried this before, so I could try this and totally change the entire idea.
filologo ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:40:56 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Using this same argument we should also be able to add pickles to the grilled cheese without having to classify it as a different sandwich. Pickles are condiments and we generally don't name sandwiches after the condiments.
CricketPinata ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:51:58 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I think that veggies are another gray area, but grayer than condiments and spreads.
Tomatoes, onions, and pickles are all traditional additions to "grilled cheese" sandwiches. But much like beans in chili, some purists simply refuse to accept them as additions.
I personally feel though that veggies are generally accepted as a assistance, and are different from meats.
I would argue that the different between a grilled cheese sandwich with onion, and an onion melt is the AMOUNT. If the onion is the primary ingredient, it's an onion melt, if it's a light amount of onions that assist the flavor of the cheese, it's still a grilled cheese, to me.
The reason why meats are almost NEVER acceptable on traditional grilled cheeses is that there is usually so much that they become the primary ingredient, and are usually the most flavorful.

CricketPinata ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:10:50 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I think pate is generally strong flavored enough and you use enough of it for it to become a primary ingredient, so it would become a grilled pate & cheese sandwich.
If it was a very thin layer, same as butter, perhaps.

CricketPinata ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:09:55 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Those aren't spreads, those are toppings.
It's all about amounts. If you spread peanut butter and jelly on a sandwich in the same amounts you typical would of butter, it wouldn't look like a standard PB&J.
It's why butter is usually not mentioned as an ingredient, while cheese is. You could spread butter on the PB&J in a small amount before you put the peanut butter on, it wouldn't become a PB&B&J sandwich.

I maintain that peanut butter and jelly ARE spreads, but that when there are no real ingredients, we name the sandwich after anything left inside. You could even use peanut butter instead of butter (or with butter) on the outside of your bread on a grilled cheese. With the right cheese, it could even be good!

I'm of the opinion that there is a hierarchy of sandwich ingredients which determines what type of sandwich it is. Meat, for the most part, comes first. So if you have turkey and cheese on your grilled sandwich, it's a grilled turkey sandwich. Cheese comes second, and vegetables are third. So, sans meat, a grilled sandwich with cheese and a tomato slice can still be called a grilled cheese. That's just my two cents though. Only the sandwich gods can judge me.

So if I put cheddar on my cucumber sandwich, it becomes a cheddar sandwich with cucumber?
I'd argue that it's all about what the primary flavor is the sandwich is (or is intended to be): Whichever ingredient(s) are the focus of the piece get headlined, which is often a meat for the carnivores and often cheese, but avocado, for example, is often important enough to get top billing: Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger.

My mother questions: Is the pesto on the inside or outside?
If it's on the outside it's in a grey area, but if it's on the inside it is no longer a spread but an ingredient and that changes it to a pesto melt.

melt butter in fry pan, dip both bread slices in it, one side each, place one slice in pan, layer with cheese, top with other slice. margarine Can be substituted but I do not care for it nearly as much.
Brown nicely in fry pan, flip and brown other side. Cut in four triangles for youngsters and two triangles for adults.

Cheese toastie, checking in.
In Australia, when we grill something, it's usually cooked under an element (a griller).
If it's on a pan or hotplate, we'd call it frying.
Also, adding vegemite to your cheese toastie is the fuckin' shit.

Toasted cheese and grilled cheese are two different sandwiches. A toasted cheese never comes in direct contact with a pan. For example, I make a grilled cheese on my stovetop and a toasted cheese in my toaster oven. Result is similar but different.

From the article:
"Uncooked cheese sandwiches simply require assembly of the cheese slices on the bread, along with any additions and condiments.
A grilled cheese sandwich is assembled and then heated until the bread crisps and the cheese melts, sometimes combined with an additional ingredient such as peppers, tomatoes or onions."

Your definitions are still wrong. A grilled cheese can consist of items other than cheese and bread, but those ingredients must be garnishes or condiments. If you have a "filling," such as tuna or pulled pork or a burger patty, then it becomes a melt. If you make a grilled cheese with bacon and onions, it's still a grilled cheese.

It's a special kind of greek cheese with a high melting point, so it can be fried without turning to goo.
gorat ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 00:19:14 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
Also you have to fry in olive oil at a lower temp. Some people do the douse with alcohol and set on fire thing instead.
gorat ยท 10 points ยท Posted at 02:20:26 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
It's a Greek cheese called Kefalotyri. You can usually find it at any Greek store outside Greece. It is delicious, you have to use low fire to cook it in a pan with a little olive oil until it becomes 'golden' on the outside and melted in the inside. Then you transfer to a plate and squeeze some fresh lemon on top. It is traditionally cut in small squares and eaten with toothpicks etc on it's own or with some super crusty Greek bread.
This guy here makes a Gouda saganaki - but has to use flour outside to keep the consistency.

I've honestly been turned on to nice cheeses lately. Now, I've always loved cheese and could drown any meal in that gooey deliciousness... But recently I've really enjoyed buying exotic cheeses and analyzing the complexity of their flavors and pairing them with different food. It's been an absolute game changer. I'll most definitely be looking into some Greek cheeses next
gorat ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:31:44 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Depending on where you live, your best bet is to find a Greek person (local Greek restaurant or pizza place) and ask them if there is a Greek grocery store somewhere (they will know). Then go there and try all the cheeses. Definitely look out for Graviera, Kefalotyri, Kefalograviera, Feta (of course), Metsovone.

So what if I just add a few shots of Cholula hot sauce into my sandwich. Can it still be called a grilled cheese, or is it a hot sauce melt? How do you feel about people dipping grilled cheese in ketchup?
MinibearRex ยท 21 points ยท Posted at 18:41:59 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I would venture to suggest that seasoning is ok. I like putting garlic and pepper in with the butter on my grilled cheeses. Sauces are probably fine. Putting ketchup on it sounds disgusting, but I will reluctantly concede that it is still indeed a grilled cheese sandwich.
In a grilled cheese sandwich, anything else added must be there to complement the cheese. You reach melt territory when the cheese is there to complement your burger or whatever.

I'd be the ultimate grill-shill if I did, because I'm a Brit, and what you guys stateside call grilled cheese is different from what we do here. Nearest culinary confection I can think of is a cheese dream, which roughly follows the grilled cheese rules, but the sandwich is dipped in egg before flying, as opposed to buttered.
Also, I like croque monsieur, which is probably the antithesis of grilled cheese ๐

Can you be specific about your definition of a CM? I always thought it was a GC, and even wikipedia seems confused about this.

Cheese toastie I agree with, have only ever had rarebit in posh pubs where it's been all ponced up. My personal idea of grilled cheese is merely toast with melted cheese over the top, but I was brought up on a poor council estate, so frankly anything that's not frozen, pre-packaged or processed is magical and wondrous to me.
herefromthere ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:53:27 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I've done some reading and understand now that it should be rabbit not rarebit, and that it can sometimes involve the toast being soaked with beer or wine, or some sort of bechemel sauce. Having said that, other variants seem to be simply cheese on toast with mustard or Worcestershire sauce.

I'm okay with one or two minor additions to the sandwich, but they cannot detract the focus of the sandwich, they can only accentuate the cheese or bread.
Something like a little Sriracha for some zing, or a slice or two of bacon or some sauteed mushrooms for a little salty/savory, or a slice of tomato for a contrast. Adding one of these to enhance the experience of the griddled cheese sandwich is okay, but when you add a lot of things or just so much of something that it becomes a 'something' sandwich with cheese, that is where it loses me.

Maybe he thinks he is getting it cheaper that way. I was at a place. $15 for a pepperoni pizza. $15 for a veggie. $1 for each additional item. I could have ordered a pep with all the stuff I wanted for $20 or a veggie with pep for $16. If he is getting a BLT with additions, is it less then the club with additions? Just a thought about why he might do it that way.

Pizza Hut doubles the toppings if you order a single-topping pizza. So, a pepperoni and bacon costs more than a pepperoni, but has the same amount of toppings.

Yep, it is. I worked there for a year. It was explained to me that the pizza had to look full, or people would complain. If you have 2 toppings, it looks full. If you have only 1, it looks empty, so they opt for less profit to keep customers satisfied.
Also, "extra cheese" isn't double the cheese. They have 1 cup for normal cheese and a smaller one for "extra cheese".

Is your club sandwich 3 layers while the blt is just the standard 2? I can see ordering a "turkey blt" instead of a club if I only wanted 2 slices of bread instead of 3.

A country cafe I eat lunch at offers an Egg Salad BLT. It's exactly what it sounds like, but the bacon is Jalapeno cured. They recently started offering the "California Egg Salad BLT," which adds provolone and avocado to the previous sandwich. It's one of my favorite sandwiches there, but it stopped being a BLT a long time ago.

Not according to the source/definition that OP links to - Cheese sandwich:
Additional ingredients are okay, as long as they are an accent or a garnish. If you add so much that it is a primary ingredient (pulled port, tuna, a burger patty, etc), then it becomes a melt.

Definitions can be changed and are potentially wrong.
You can add anything you want, and that is okay - but it changes it to a melt. Garnishes are on the side and are typically not for eating.
If you only add one additional ingredient, ALL additional ingredients are a primary ingredient and it becomes a melt.

Yes, I'll agree that it's the addition of a primary ingredient nullifies it being a grilled cheese. IMO tomatoes are borderline primary.

What about fresh herbs like some fresh basil or something? Or to extend even further what about some grilled/caramelized onions? I dont think the answer is "thats an Onion Melt".
For Example, my go to sandwich is: A good whole wheat bread, some sharp or extra sharp cheddar, caramelized onions and Sweet Chili sauce.
Do I still get to call this a grilled cheese?

I'm not as much of a purist as you but I tend to agree with your sentiment on most sandiwiches in this sub. Where we disagree is that some bacon, OR tomato, OR a few leaves of spinach don't turn it into a melt to me. However; add tuna or a boatload of kale, or basically anything that ends up lending more mass to the sandwich than the cheese and you've unintentionally treaded into melt territory without realizing it.

ZippyDan ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:01:16 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Agreed. The cheese on the mac just counts as more cheese. So does adding another carb really invalidate the grilled cheese? I think there needs to be a slightly broader definition of what a grilled cheese can be. It should be: bread, cheese, other carbs (this would cover the mac), other dairy products (this would cover the butter).

If you had a really weird bread with macaroni baked in, I could see that staying just barely in the line.... but... when you eat a grilled mac and cheese, there's a definite focus on the mac. The real line should be that anything that takes the focus away from the cheese makes it not a grilled cheese, IMO.

No, you misunderstand. The bread and cheese are requirements, but other cousins are optional additions. If you added tortilla to a grilled cheese sandwich, I think it would still be grilled cheese.
Also, a quesadilla is allowed to and often expected to have other ingredients besides tortilla and cheese.

It wasn't till I was married that I found out my wife and her family called Grilled Cheese "Cheese Toasties." It is one of the things I hold against her and will bring out to shame her during disputes. You are GD right I didn't let our four children grow up with cheese toasties, but they sure have had a lot grilled cheese sandwiches.

I put some diced tomatoes on my gorgonzola/colby jack grilled cheese. I don't think a tablespoon of diced tomatoes makes it a tomato melt. If your additive is more of a seasoning, it should qualify as a grilled cheese still.
Sprinkle of bacon? Grilled cheese. Several slices of bacon? Bacon melt w/cheese.

Thank you Fuck_Blue_Shells! As an extremely picky, vegetarian, racist eater (when I was in the hospital many years ago, while describing what foods I preferred, I said, white bread, sourdough, white cheddar shell pasta, and a myriad of other 'white foods', I was called a racist eater), I only want to try a few of the recipes posted here. I'm straight bread, cheese, butter (spread), and grill. Anything else is not a grilled cheese. I grew up with the most horrid excuse for a grilled cheese. My mom was apparently trying to troll me, and made the following nastiness: wheat bread with American cheese, put in the microwave for 20 seconds, cut into four triangles, and served. Then, one glorious day, I was dropped off at my grandma's house. At lunchtime, she said she would make a grilled cheese. I recoiled in despair, assuming I would be faced with the microwaved monstrosity. I became confused when she started melting butter in a pan on THE STOVE!!! I foolishly asked her what she was doing, as I had only ever seen meat cooked on the stove, and as mentioned before, grilled cheeses were microwaved. She looked at me funny and I watched the bread and the cheese sizzle. The smell was amazing. She cut it diagonally - none of that four triangle stuff. I bit in to the physical manifestation of food heaven. That was a real grilled cheese.
I never again allowed my mom to make the microwaved monstrosity. She couldn't fool me anymore. Grilled bread and cheese, with butter, is what a grilled cheese means to me. The fancy stuff with meat and whatever is not what I picture when I think of my favorite sandwich. I have experimented with different breads and cheeses though. My current favorite is a bagel grilled cheese with havarti. I think I'll make one now...

All melts are degenerate bastardized shadows of the timeless grilled cheese. Those who would mix in other ingredients do so to sully and defile the obviously superior bread food. Throughout history the truly great foods were destroyed by a kind of culinary food poisoning as inferior components were shamefully mixed into what was already perfect. I say no longer! It is time that the grilled cheese was restored to the top of the food pyramid with lesser foods cowering beneath it. The master food of grilled cheese shall rule for a thousand years of cheesy, toasty glory!!

I admire your passion, as well. However, whereas passion may win a fight, it does not win an argument.
There's a difference between a melt and a grill, friend. The grilled sandwich is grilled.
While I agree with you on many of your points, I've been eating grilled cheese sandwiches more than twice as long as you've been on this planet, and it takes more than the addition of a few ingredients to tip a product from the "grilled cheese" to the "melt" category:
Condiments to not a melt make. Throwing catsup, mustard, or any variety of spreads, jellies, etc does not make a grilled sandwich with cheese into a melt.
Many (if not most) melts are not grilled. A grilled cheese sandwich must be grilled. Two pieces of toast with a slice of velveeta in the middle does not add up to a grilled cheese sandwich. That, friend is a cheese on toast.
By your argument, adding freshly ground pepper to my grilled cheese sandwich would make it a "pepper melt." Not so. In order to qualify as a melt, the cheese has to be an add-on, rather than the main ingredient twixt the bread. A smattering of bacon bits amongst a healthy dose of cheese, grilled to perfection is still a grilled cheese sandwich.
By the same token, adding cheese to a sandwich, and even grilling it, does not make it a grilled cheese sandwich. If, by weight, volume, or flavour, cheese is not the primary filling, you're not dealing with a grilled cheese sandwich, and I echo your disdain for these meat monstrosities that feature a feeble feather of fromage. Grill these up, and you've got a panini, not a grilled cheese sandwich.
Again, I admire your passion, and your purism. But fundamentalism only burns bridges and robs you of wondrous experiences.

Exellent post. Well-stated, and some very good points.
I do think whether cheese is the "main feature" of the sandwich, or at least one of two, is a somewhat defining factor. And ratio can play a role.
Sometimes I make a sandwich that has either ham or chicken, honey mustard sauce, and cheese, on bread cooked in the typical "grilled cheese" style.
To many, this may sound like a "melt." Except the ratio of cheese to meat is like 4/1 in the case of the chicken, and more like 15/1 in the case of the ham. (What can I say, I like a lot of cheese.) I also tend to use a blend of 3-5 different cheeses.
Most melts simply aren't that cheesy, or awesome.
(Not that I have anything against melts.)

Condiments added to a grilled cheese is only acceptable if you are a poor college student or a hobo. If you ad condiments to a grilled cheese it is no longer a grilled cheese it is instead a 'Pity Melt'. You compared adding pepper and bacon as if they were comparable, that is idiotic. Pepper is a spice, bacon is a blessing from god, the christian God. Allah did us a solid by forbidding his people from eating it.

Arguing that all drinks which are mostly coffee are actually coffee gives legitimacy to those "whuppy-cara-mocha-funky-dingo" drinks that all the girls in yoga pants like. I'm a broad-minded, tolerant fellow, but that's a step too far, in my opinion.

While I respect your opinion and admire the amount of passion you have fueling it, I must unfortunately disagree with your stance on the issue. A grilled cheese is not limited to cheese, bread and spread; rather it is a sandwich whose main and primary focus is the cheese. I see no reason to not add flavor accents, such as thinly sliced tomatoes or minced and sautรฉed onions. Additions such as these expound upon the majesty of a perfectly ripe triple cream Brie, or a nice sharp cheddar.
A melt on the other hand, is a very similar kind of a sandwich; where the melted cheese is not the star of the show, but merely a supporting flavor, there to help illuminate the brilliance of the flavor of your main ingredient, whether it be tuna, chicken breast or <insert favorite sandwich meat here>.
To address the conundrum of grilled cheese or melt, one must first establish the role of the cheese in this particular endeavor.

Dear Sir:
How stringent are you regarding your definition of "bread" for a grilled cheese?
I am in complete agreement with the clear-cut line between "melts" and "grilled cheese". I believe some addition of spice and herb-as-flavoring (not substantial food value) is ok.
Using chipotle powder = acceptable. Using finely chopped roasted bell pepper in any quantity above 1/2 teaspoon (and even that might be pushing it) for a sandwich <> acceptable.
Indeed, in contemplating the notion, maybe adding any fresh herbage should be verboten. Ground spices? Salt & pepper kinda stuff, that should be ok, yes? Can't limit it to just S&P in my book though. So many great herbs & spices out there.
What's your take on the quesodilla? I think it's just a Mexican grilled cheese, unless its got chunks of meat or veg and yeah then it's a Mexican melt.

Your passion Is admirable and you are on to something but there is a category outside bread cheese and butter you can add that still leaves you with a grilled cheese sandwich. And that is... Seasoning. Seasoning can be pretty much anything, but it's pretty simple if it's there to accent the cheese it's okay. Mustard, hot sauce, garlic, even bacon. No not big slice of bacon then it's a bacon melt but a sprinkle of bacon crumbles that's still a grilled cheese my friend.

So many people falling into line simply over a passionate, confident post. Sad that so few can think for themselves.
You're premise is flawed as the definition of anything is only agreed upon by society. No one person can define anything. If a majority of society agree that "literally" no longer means "literally", then as much as a grammar purist rants and raves, the purist has become wrong.
The only possible authority is in the name itself: Grilled cheese sandwich. Obviously, sandwich implies bread, cheese implies cheese, and grilled implies melted (not cheese on a grill). But nothing else? Ha! I say, and again HA!
Adding onion, celery, mayonnaise, vinegar, and seasonings to tuna does not invalidate the name "tuna sandwich". If it does not invalidate that, then adding them to cheese and toasted bread CANNOT invalidate the name "grilled cheese sandwich". Only a fool would think so.
And even if it did, there is another flaw: By your own words, changing the BREAD does not invalidate the name of "grilled cheese sandwich". Yet, bread itself comes with all kind of additions: Tomato bread, bacon bread, onion bread, olive bread, and yes, even HAM bread. If all breads are valid to use, then these variety are valid. If bread with additives are valid, then the additives themselves are valid and can be placed DIRECTLY ONTO THE CHEESE instead of baking it into the bread (or even, the cheese). Thus all additions to a grilled cheese sandwich are valid and the result is still a grilled cheese sandwich.
If in your estimation, those varieties of bread and cheese are NOT valid for a grilled cheese sandwich, then I say who the hell are you to say not? By your own words, bread and cheese (and spread) are what make it! At what point does it stop? If I cannot add tomato to my bread and grill it with cheese, what bread is valid? Will you change the very definition of "bread" to meet the narrow demands of your fundamentalist stance?
Irregardless, it is still society's agreement that defines anything. And if society agrees that a "melt" meets the standards of a "grilled cheese", you, then, are in the wrong.

Former chef here.
Dude, chill. You're only halfway right. Some of the things posted are melts.
BUT if you make a Grilled Cheese with some jalepeno (let's use jalepenos as an example) on it, we will not bow down to you and automatically call it a Jalepeno Melt.
It's not a jalepeno melt unless the main (ingredient you use the most amount of) ingredient is jalepeno. (Same way as if you put some bacon on top of clam chowder it does not automatically make it a bacon chowder) If it's still mostly cheese with a few slices of jalepeno, then it's a gorram ** Grilled Cheese with Jalepeno ** and not a Jalepeno Melt. The flavour and seasoning added is the jalepeno. The main ingredient is the cheese. Therefore it's still a grilled cheese.
The other way around, if you take a bunch jalepeno slices and then put a couple slices of cheese on'em, then the cheese is the seasoning (as it would be on a burger), and then you could call it a jalepeno melt if you wanted.
But your idea that simply adding ingredients to a grilled cheese turns it into a melt is like brie served straight from the refrigerator.

Once you add meat to the mix it becomes a melt in my opinion. Because the cheese is no longer the "star" of the sandwich, the meat and cheese become "co-stars".

Just like I hate it when people add a bunch of meat and vegetables to macaroni and cheese and still want to call it macaroni and cheese. When that happens, it crosses over into "casserole" territory.

Gave a dramatic rendition to my mother, and she had this to say:
How can I respect his grilled cheese authority when he calls it a "Spread"? The only possible "spread" is butter. You can't substitute it, it's butter or nothing. I respect everything else about this, but I can't respect this mans diatribe, because he accepts non-butter on his grilled cheeses. Some people consider Miracle Whip a spread! What if I put coconut oil on my grilled cheese? Ugh. There is no substitute spread.
Also, what city is this young man from? If he was from New York, I wouldn't want to be riding on the same subway as him when he snapped. I can just picture him standing up like one of those subway preachers.
Non-butter spreads. Ugh. You know I'm right about the butter, right?

If you're gonna be that pedantic about it, I demand that pictures on this sub only consist of sandwiches containing cheese, cooked on a goddamn grill. The sandwich you guys are all circle-jerking about would be a griddled cheese sandwich by your own ridiculously stupid standards. Unless, of course, you manage to devise a contraption that melts the cheese seperately on a grill, then place it onto bread that is then griddled. That would also be acceptable.

As another midwestern male I would argue that you are largely right but non-solid items can be added, such as various oils and shit. But once you are putting some other type of thing that could be eaten on its own in there, you have left grilled cheese land and entered melt world.
It's important to remember grilled cheese is short for "grilled cheese sandwich". So, it's a cheese sandwich that happens to be grilled. If what your making is not considered a cheese sandwich had you not grilled it, then it's not a grilled cheese when you do grill it.

Is it appropriate to squeeze the sandwhich onto the pan with a spatula? I prefer to keep the bread intact, but the person in question acts as if the goal was to get paper-thin bread.

Yeah ok I agree to an extent but when you make an actual grilled cheese sandwich but add bacon or turkey or chives and still do it a grilled cheese way, it becomes a 'grilled turkey/bacon/whatever (&) cheese sandwich'.
A melt isn't usually grilled (but it can be!) it is usually toast and hot/heated middles.
Welcome to the world of semantics.

What is your opinion on looser definitions of bread? e.g. sometimes I make grilled cheese with egg-in-basket's (slices of bread with a hole cut out and an egg fried in the hole to make the slice complete again). Once I made one with French toast.
Also what about using bacon grease instead of butter?
Finally, have you tried an inside-out-grilled cheese?

Another addition to grilled cheese that keeps it orthodox: just a sprinkling of shredded cheese on the outside of the bread before grilling. Makes it crunchy, and fried cheese gives it a heavenly Cheeseits flavor.
My roommate has also experimented with using Krispy Kremes cut like hamburger buns and flipped so the cut side is the outside, grilled with sharp cheddar and a bit of salt. omfnomfnomf

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that while I agree with /u/Fuck_Blue_Shells about the difference between a grilled cheese and a melt, I'll allow for a grilled cheese to have some "accent" ingredient. The cheese needs to be the focus, the prime content of the sandwich, but I won't fault someone for adding something like a thin slice of tomato. The cheese has to be the bulk of the protein in the sandwich, so the addition of ham, for example, is now putting it in melt territory. But if you want to make an Italian grilled cheese with fresh mozzarella and add some roasted red pepper, God bless you. Just don't add prosciuto and call it a grilled cheese.

Always associate melts with a special sauce myself. If I put a slice of apple, ham, egg, pickle, or bacon, it is still a grilled cheese. It has simply been upgraded to uber status. Once the extra ingredient outweighs the cheese though, then it becomes a toasted sandvitch.

This is interesting. I've never called a cheese sandwich that I've cooked 'Grilled cheese.' To me that's a 'Toasted cheese sandwich.' The only time it's 'Grilled cheese' is when it is a piece of bread with cheese on top of it that you put under the grill or in a toaster oven.
I guess it's all to do with preferred nomenclature.

Also, as you said your not a culinary expert...and I don't think you'd find anyone who is going to call a grilled cheese with some tomato slices anything but a grilled cheese with tomato slices.

my grilled cheese starts with two slices of french sourdough bread. Sliced sharp cheddar on one slice, a little dijon mustard on the other. then sprinkle some garlic powder on the cheese, and put the top slice on. Spread butter on the top slice while heating up your grill (I use an electric frying pan so I can cook two of these at the same time - one for me and one for my missus). when the pan is hot, throw the sandwich on the side butter down. Spread butter on the slice facing up. After a few minutes, turn the sandwich (depends on your heat, I like my grilled cheese golden brown).
I grew up eating these (my mom didn't put garlic powder on them then) and love them. She always called them "Toasted Cheese Sandwiches". Comfort food. Love it.

Lol. Though for myself, "grilled cheese sandwich" is something done on the stove. I grew up with "toasted cheese sandwiches," which is done in the oven. (Or "cheese toast," which is the same thing but open-faced.) Never knew there was a melt. And yes, toasted cheese sandwiches just had bread, butter, and cheese. Then, preferrably, they would be dipped in tomato soup!

As an Australian, the battle lines are drawn up as such: A melt is an 'open sandwich', consisting of a slice of bread with various toppings, covered in cheese, and placed in a sandwich toaster/oven until the cheese melts and the bread is sort of crusty. Think of it as a poor man's pizza. Anything that involves two pieces of bread containing various toppings and cheese that is subsequently toasted is called a 'toasted sandwich'. This includes cheese by itself. I think that this is a very satisfactory and self-explanatory system of classification.

Sauce: a guy who might just have you matched for sheer volume of grilled cheeses eaten to date - 30 year old, obese at one point where for 3 years i ate no less than 2 and often as many as 4 of these beauties a day.
Added trivia: we call them sangas in Australia. "Sang-ah". Although many insist on the use of a jaffle press and somehow allow for the incursion of foreign ingredients while still allowing the title of sanga. :(

No pne in the uk knows what the fuck grilled cheese is. Most people think its literally a bit of cheese, grilled. We tend to call it cheese on toast or cheese toastie (if the sandwich has a top) or melted cheese on toast (cheese on toast not melted is a thing). Yeah a tuna sandwich with cheese melted /grilled (or broiled as you yanks say) is not cheese on toast its a tuna melt. 'Melt ' means with warm/hot melted cheese.

Ten years ago I studied abroad in Ireland and I lived with this one pale, red-headed dude named Shane who lived outside of Boston I think. He used to return home from the bars late at night and make pure grilled cheese sandwiches. I remember one night when he, shirtless, made us all grilled cheese sandwiches. He sat down, took the first bite of his, and proclaimed loudly, "Wolfgang Puck ain't got shit on me!"
So I figured, a man after your own heart.

I think a grilled cheese with added bacon is still primarily a grilled cheese. I think a fair rule would be, if it's grilled and >50% of what's inbetween the slices (or on top of the bread if open-face) is cheese, the thrust of the sandwich is still more about being a grilled cheese than a melt.

If your username refers to the blue shelled crab, the nadir of culinary excellence, then you have no business opening your filthy fucking mouth.
If you put pulled pork in between the grilled cheese, it is a grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwitch. A melt is placed in the oven to melt the cheese over something. If you fucking grill it, it is a grilled sandwich. Grilled cheese and ham, or grilled cheese and bacon, besides fucking delicious, are properly known as grilled cheese and ham and grilled cheese and bacon sandwitches. Not "Melts".

This is bullshit. It depends what items are added and in what quantity. If I sprinkle a few green onions or some spices on my grilled cheese, it remains a grilled cheese. As long as the cheese takes center stage, there's likely no breach into melt territory. For someone so enthusiastic about grilled cheese, you should have thought this through.

What if you put things on a grilled cheese that wouldn't make a normal sandwich though?
An example: I used to put tomatoes on my grilled cheese. I've never heard of a tomato sandwich before, and if you asked for a tomato melt people would look at you funny. If you wanted a grilled sandwich with cheese and tomato, you would ask for a grilled cheese with tomato.
The terminology should be chosen based on the merit of how effectively it communicates the idea, not on your over-zealous notions of sandwich segregation.

Except you are wrong.
What makes a grilled cheese sandwich is that it's supposed to be grilled. As in on a grill. Which nobody does, because is stupidly difficult to grill bread slowly enough to melt cheese, so instead we use a pan.
Melts are baked or broiled sandwiches, and usually open faced.

Actually as a verb, grilling means:
drays ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 20:25:40 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
A grill is a grill set over an intense source of infrared heat.
The open work of the grill is essential to the process of grilling, because it means the food surface is exposed to extremely intense but dry heat. This is entirely different from the frying technique we use on 'grilled cheese' sandwiches, which result in a completely different texture and flavour constellation. When we cook grilled cheese sandwiches we are actually doing something midway between searing and shallow frying. The grilled part, however is a complete and utter misuse of language.
Try actually grilling a sandwich one day. You need a slow fire, and a large salad bowl to cover the sandwich and hold in heat while keeping the heated air relatively dry. Brush the top surface with melted butter just before placing the sandwich on the grill butter side down. Then brush top again just before flipping.
You end up with a sandwich that tastes like it's been made with smoked bread, and has grid lines of charred material. It's tasty, extremely hard to do properly, and as before it's completely different from pan cooked.
readysteadyjedi ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 20:44:44 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah again, you're fixating on a grill as a noun. The sandwich is called a "grilled sandwich" using the verb. The verb is defined above.
OP's point is there is literally a different type of sandwich where you add things other than cheese, it's called a melt, so all these picutures of "grilled cheeses" with bacon and roast beef and turkey and what have you - they're literally not grilled cheeses. They're melts.
It really is as simple as that. I don't go into /r/canada talking about Michigan for the same reason.
drays ยท -6 points ยท Posted at 21:21:26 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I disagree. As a professional chef, the word 'grilling' means precisely one thing: to cook on a grating suspended over an intense source of infrared heat.
It's misuse of language that has now been formalized by constant misuse. And frankly, the distinction between melt and grilled cheese sandwich is an even more trivial argument.

Nonsense. As if the addition of an extra ingredient requires an entire new classification. It's a silly distinction.
On the other hand, to describe a fried sandwich as grilled, why that's a pernicious falsehood. Imagine the disappointment of the poor customer, expecting fragrant smoky charred diamonds and a gooey cheesy Center, faced instead with a pedestrian crunching greasy slice.

Just as I'm sure you have customers who regularly return filet mignon saying it's not even remotely cute, or complain that their chicken isn't actually in the shape of a butterfly.
You're arguing absolute nonsense in the face of facts. "I can do this all day." I'm sure you could!
Genuinely curious what kind of restaurant you work in where the only way something can be considered grilled is if it's cooked over direct flame. It's a very modern American interpretation of the word.
drays ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 01:34:51 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
It's not a 'modern interpretation', it's the meaning of the word.
Grilling is done on a grill. It's just that simple... Would you make a New England boiled dinner in a deep fryer? Would you poach salmon on a rotisserie? Of course not!
Edit: and you need not have flame to grill. The best grills employ charcoal, and great effort is taken to avoid flames and flare ups. More common nowadays of course are gas flame grills, but even those normally use the flame to heat either stones of metal baffles that then emit radiant heat.
readysteadyjedi ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 02:40:17 on December 10, 2014 ยท (Permalink)*
Right. Look, you're really not getting this, and it shows that, while you may be a chef, you're apparently working within a very specific boundary.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grilling
Grilling doesn't always refer to the method you're describing - it's that as well as a pan and a griddle in the US and a handful of other countries, while in 53 other countries (the entire commonwealth, population 2.3 billion) it's something else. The fact is that any decent chef ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD will know of regional variances rather than arguing that it's one thing and one thing only.
I really can't make this any plainer. And frankly I don't have the patience to keep making it simpler and simpler to someone who's paid to cook food how it works outside of their obviously very narrow experience.

According to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/grill, "grill" has also come to mean "to fry or toast (something, such as a sandwich) on a hot surface," but I suppose that definition may have possibly come from long-term misuse of the word. I see what you are saying, though.

BULLSHIT. I rebut your comment sir.
Though I understand where you're argument is coming from, my understanding of melts is entirely different. To me, a melt is open-faced, not a closed sandwich. I understand that the adding of different items takes away from identifying the grilled sandwich as a grilled-cheese sandwich, but adding tuna does not make it a tuna melt! Add tuna, make it open faced, and bake it, then yeah, you have a tuna melt.
Get your sandwich facts strait man.

you put it under a grill (having placed whatever ingredients on top) then something magical happens, it becomes a toastie.
grilled cheese sandwich is a bland product description, like sparkling white wine. If you do it right, it's champagne
but with cheese and bread instead of alcoholic carbonated grape juice.
๐๏ธ Fuck_Blue_Shells ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 14:28:59 on December 12, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
First off, most countries reserve the term of champagne for a specific wine made in the champagne region of France. Every type of sparkling wine is sparkling wine unless it's been produced in the champagne region of France. So "if you do it right, it's champagne" doesn't really make any sense at all. And as for your "toastie", that's not how you make a grilled cheese sandwich. The whole sandwich is grilled together and the only ingredient on top should be a spread to ensure even grilling across. And it's only bland if you use kraft singles and wonderbread. The description is pretty specific actually, you fucking grill it. Because it's made on a grill or grill pan, not a toaster or a toaster oven. If you're making eggs and toast you put the bread in the toaster to toast it. Not the grill. That's why they call it eggs and toast, not eggs and grilled bread you jabroni

grilled grilled cheese sandwich = cheese grilled on the grill which is then placed between 2 grilled pieces of bread.
And yes, I cooked mine on my grill this morning. Outside. 7am on my back porch with a glass of milk.

I would argue that simply adding other ingredients does not invalidate the status of the grilled cheese, and it is dependent, rather, on the AMOUNT of other ingredients you add. If I put a little bbq sauce, or a single slice of deli ham on my sandwich, it is still a grilled cheese, so long as the PRIMARY component is cheese. I believe that the test of whether or not it is a grilled cheese is if you can take the cheese out and still have it be a legitimate sandwich, then it is NOT a grilled cheese.

If you pan fry it, it's not grilled either. A colloquial term for pan fried bread with cheese or if you would a cheese melt doesn't make it grilled. Putting it on a grill does...

Agree! So:
grill: grilled cheese sandwich
pan on stove: grittled cheese sandwich OR fried cheese sandwich
oven: toasted cheese sandwich OR cheese toast(ie)
any: melted cheese sandwich
with more than cheese and spread: a melt

In this case get the hell out of this sub unless you cook every sandwich outside on an actual grill. Can't grill in a pan, that's called a griddled sandwich.
Or you could just, you know, not be so pedantic.
Edit: Holy shit people. I don't actually care about the distinction between grilled cheese and griddled cheese. I said this to point out that saying a cheese sandwich with mustard is actually a melt is as stupid as saying a grilled cheese sandwich must be made on a grill.

That's fucking incredible. I know what I'm cooking the next time I chef up for a date. It's quirky, comforting, nostalgic as he noted, and just simple and fun. It's easy and direct enough that you can do it while you chatter and entertain a lady, but unusual and curiosity-piquing enough that she'll be pretty eager to try it - and will want a second date just to find out what you cook next.
sterling_mallory ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 03:56:33 on December 11, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I mean, it looks like a tasty grilled cheese, but doesn't it defeat the purpose of grilled cheese? Grilled cheese is meant to be pretty simple. This one is complicated, and if you're trying to impress a date there are better things than cheese on bread. Which is all this is, in the end.
For instance: I recently had a lady friend over and made some dressed up scrambled eggs. Simple and comforting, and much easier to put together. Though scrambled eggs had a bit of significance to her, so it was a bit different than just serving them to a random date. Either way, there are a whole lot of easier options than complicated grilled cheese.

The sub is called grilled cheese, it SHOULD be about grilled cheese, not ham and cheese sandwiches. There is a sandwich sub for that, it's in the tab. The wikipedia link is pretty clear on what a grilled cheese sandwich is.
And a grilled cheese sandwich can be griddled, but it's not a grilled cheese sandwich when there is meat on it.
This whole fiasco reminded me of how pizza is supposed to be: traditional pizza does NOT have meat. That's how they were meant to be eaten. Still, murica and meat.

I'm aware, but the first and most specific definition from Webster is to cook on a metal frame over fire. This is the definition I'm going with for my statement not because I think it is the most correct one but because I wanted to illustrate for OP that words can have multiple definitions and how absurd it would be if everyone were as persnickity about their usage as he is.

FWIW in cooking a grill is not what you think it is. You know that big flat surface in a diner where the eggs, hash browns, and just about everything else is cooked? That's a grill. That's the grill in 'Joe's Bar & Grill' A grill can have bars to leave grill marks, and can be an open grid of bars over a heat source as well, but it's not required, and is certainly not what the 'grilled' in 'grilled cheese' is about.

A grilled cheese is any sand which or wrap that is pan fried or grilled. You can add virtually anything to your grilled cheese, and it is still a grilled cheese.

Here's the thing.
You said a "melt is a grilled cheese."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a cook who studies grilled cheeses, I am telling you, specifically, in culinary school, no one calls melts grilled cheeses. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "grilled family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Grillvidae, which includes things from paninis to wraps to grilled cheese.
So your reasoning for calling a melt a grilled cheese is because random people "call grilled stuff with cheese grilled cheese?" Let's get macaroni and nachos in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A melt is a melt and a member of the grilled family. But that's not what you said. You said a melt is a grilled cheese, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the grilled family grilled cheese, which means you'd call paninis, wraps, and other sandwiches grilled cheeses, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

I really appreciate your passion for grilled cheese, and thank you for taking the time to post this. After careful consideration, I have decided to bend your rules slightly. I will still call it a "grilled cheese" as long as it's bread, cheese, and ONE other topping. Once an additional second topping (or more) gets added, I will label it a "melt," which I think goes mostly along with your rules... I think everyone should join me in this compromise.

the definition applies to individual words, colloquial usage applies to the sentence as a whole. a firm understanding of colloquial phrasing is vital to effective communication. for instance when I tell you to "get fucked" i do not intend it as a directive for you to acquire sexual intercourse.
not to mention "grilled cheese" is a contraction of "grilled cheese sandwich" which is far more explicit of course but FOR COMMON USAGE BOTH PHRASINGS SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE.
but clearly I'm arguing with someone with an IQ no greater than a grilled cheese anyway (or if you prefer, cheese that has been grilled. which are both equally cognitively deficient)

A 'melt' implies the bread isn't always grilled. I've made more grilled cheeses than you claim to have eaten, and that's how we did it at the restaurant I worked at for 6 years. I made anywhere from 50 to 100 every day for 6 years.
It's called a grilled cheese because the FOCAL POINT of the sandwich is cheese and bread. Anything else should compliment those 2 items, but not overpower them.
In short, your rant completely missed the mark, but nice try.

Grilled Cheese with French Bread???? What kind of sick shit is that? That's just a sub sandwich without meat and veggies

Oh. I guess if we're actually going to be literal about this, I would have to ask how you dare put bread on your grilled cheese. There's no mention of bread in "grilled cheese". Your passion is misplaced here buddy. It's a grilled cheese and bread and NOT something for this damn sub.

ya know what? EFF YOU MAN! I want to put some fucking ham and spinach and call it a grilled cheese. IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS VALID OF A GRILLED CHEESE. As long as it has more cheese than any other ingredient, it's a grilled cheese.

Blasphemer! Butter is nought but a tempting, sinful luxury! You degenerate, hedonists! Do you not see? Are you so blind? The bread, half-wheat brown, and the Cheese, Real English Cheddar (none of your heathen, soft, French crimes or your delinquent, Dutch lies!), should at all times be tasted and felt as the two beautifully different parts of Cheese on Toast. They should not be bound together in your greasy delirium! You wretched sinners, have ye no shame! Repent now, and cast the butter of gluttony onto the fire, and over that fire we shall grill a cheese, pure and simple as God did intend!
And that goes for that whore margarine too!

Hey Fuck_Blue_Shells, that's fine that you feel that way, but I've got a lot of friends who are linguists that would disagree with you. See, it seems you're attacking semantics upon which you've placed a high degree of symbolic importance and "value," when the reality is "grilled cheese" is just a phrase used to describe a thing-- it isn't actually a thing. Whether anyone likes it or not, over time definitions change as usage changes. The old definitions are not more correct (the ol' prescriptivism vs descriptivism debate), but rather the most correct definitions are the ones that most people understand.
(Edit: as such, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying you aren't presenting any evidence that your definition of grilled cheese is what /most people/ in any given context understand grilled cheese to mean. Furthermore, keep in mind the words "grilled cheese" don't signify anything to someone who doesn't speak English. The language you're using suggests that "grilled cheese" is Real and not just a label).
What's truly concerning is that you seem to care this much about the name of a type of sandwich.

Is that honestly the best you could come up with? I'm talking about grilled cheeses not the world you fucking idiot. Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you're not a condescending age-elitist prick who's creativity is so unoriginal the best thing he could come up with was making fun of someones age. You know nothing. Keep making your pretentious melts with spinach and crab and calling them grilled cheeses you piece of shit.

Out of respect, I will not say anything negative about the cowboys. Despite the close wildcard race this season, I shouldn't be angry at other teams. I'm just angry that the NFC south will send one of their garbage teams into the playoffs instead of one us. The NFL should have a rule stating that if the team who wins their division doesn't end up with an 8-8 season, they should forfeit their playoff spot to a 10 game or more winning team. That's just me though

taxidermiedfox ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 21:59:46 on December 9, 2014 ยท (Permalink)
I know this is a touchy subject but I'm gonna need some help here. We keep our pans in the closet on the other side of the kitchen (about 6 feet from the stove and countertop), and sometimes I just don't have time for that shit. So, what I've been doing lately is: toasting the bread, then putting the cheese on the bread, sometimes with other stuff (pickles, condiments, peppers), THEN microwaving one of the slices of toasted bread with the cheese on it for about 25 seconds. Then putting it all together. Then eating it. The question is: what am I eating?
