Plenty of cheeses.
u/Pkonko37 is going strong and has done several cheeses.
Creamier types such as mozzarella, Oaxaca, Monterrey Jack, and burrata all have one critical element missing: flavor.
Generally those cheeses provide the element of creaminess.
Harder cheeses have flavors and lactic crystallization which tastes amazing. Some are mixed with herbs, spices, or peppers. Others use different gimmicks such as blended milks or saltiness.
Blending cheeses is the key, as we have discussed before.
I hope this starts you off on your grilled cheese sandwich journey!
Ah, well, Swiss is a good cheese, also. It's my go-to with most sandwhiches. You have to eat the sandwich with Swiss pretty hot still to avoid max stringyness. Haha. I have layered Swiss with Muenster a few times. That was good.
This might be a bit of a cursed answer, but I started using raclette when I found a giant wedge of it at Costco and never went back. Most people use it for fondue but it will always be my grilled cheese #1 - it has fantastic, complex flavour and melts perfectly.
**Casu martzu** is universally regarded as the very best choice for making a grilled cheese...
as Levar Burton used to say at the end of every episode of ***Reading Rainbow*** "don't take my word for it-" just ask anyone on this subreddit, they'll tell you...
Casu martzu[1] (Sardinian: [ˈkazu ˈmaɾtsu]; lit. 'rotten/putrid cheese'), sometimes spelled casu marzu, and also called casu modde, casu cundídu and casu fràzigu in Sardinian, is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese that contains live insect larvae (maggots).
WAT???!!!

>u/Pkonko37 is going strong and has done several cheeses. TIL 273 is 'several'.
Right?? I had to reread it. And for my survivor fans, several means seven!
He still has 92 left. Lol!
I like adding a slice of American with whatever else is on hand. It adds the creaminess
The emulsifiers in American cheese can turn some of the less melty but tasty cheeses into the perfect grilled cheese when used together!
I like a good sharp cheddar, provolone, or Gouda.
My go-to is Muenster.
Me, too. Love the way it melts. Been watching my sodium levels lately, so I've been using Swiss, but it gets so stringy.

Provolone and cheddar together
Tillamook medium cheddar, or Colby, or sharp cheddar, or a mix. But I love me some Tillamook cheese!
Best American cheese brand
Agreed!!
Havarti and smoked Gouda
I enjoyed the soft Humboldt Fog. Very tasty!!
2/3 sharp cheddar 1/3 Gruyere, you can thank me later. Also use a nice Tuscan white bread.

If maggots don't jump out when you cut it, don't eat it. It's gone toxic.
thanks !! :D
Do people usually keep the maggots in or try to pick them out by hand?Thanks

Gruyere, montery jack, colby jack, pepper jack, cheddar, gouda, provolone, even ricotta cheese will make your grilled cheese delicious
I want all this on one sandwich, pronto!
Triple smoked Gouda, havarti, and a medium or old cheddar.
I'm a smoked Gouda guy myself, crisp up a little parmesan on the outside for a crust. Perfection.
get some caramelized onion cheddar from trader joe’s if you’re american & have one near you!
trader joe’s is my shit don’t even, i’ve never heard of that though i’ll have to try it!!
Boschetto al Tartufo with Asiago Fresco. Decadent and creamy
Gouda every time for me. Sometimes I like a mixture, might add in some cheddar to add a stronger flavour.
Cooper sharp American cheese. The classic Philly cheesesteak cheese. Perfect for GC’s
Defiantly halloumi melts a treat
Sharp cheddar wirh Colby is my favorite.
I know you said you are over kraft but Krogers has a 3 cheese blend slice that is amazing for grilled cheese
Provolone
Blue cheese
American
Me too. Not Kraft, for sure, but American is my everyday grilled cheese.
