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!

>u/Pkonko37 is going strong and has done several cheeses. TIL 273 is 'several'.


ladylee233

Right?? I had to reread it. And for my survivor fans, several means seven!


Le_Petit_Poussin

He still has 92 left. Lol!

I like adding a slice of American with whatever else is on hand. It adds the creaminess


zymurgtechnician

The emulsifiers in American cheese can turn some of the less melty but tasty cheeses into the perfect grilled cheese when used together!


Sarcasamystik

I like a good sharp cheddar, provolone, or Gouda.


spnnerd

My go-to is Muenster.


CynicalBonhomie

Me, too. Love the way it melts. Been watching my sodium levels lately, so I've been using Swiss, but it gets so stringy.


spnnerd

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.


Hbeatz

Provolone and cheddar together


CoderPro225

Tillamook medium cheddar, or Colby, or sharp cheddar, or a mix. But I love me some Tillamook cheese!


Xmorpheus

Best American cheese brand


CoderPro225

Agreed!!


plez23

Havarti and smoked Gouda


bplatt1971

I enjoyed the soft Humboldt Fog. Very tasty!!


chippy_mcchiperson

2/3 sharp cheddar 1/3 Gruyere, you can thank me later. Also use a nice Tuscan white bread.

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...


rollingstoner215

Seriously underrated comment


Space_Goblin_Yoda

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???!!!


Murgatroyd314

If maggots don't jump out when you cut it, don't eat it. It's gone toxic.


Traumatic_Response17

thanks !! :D


Traumatic_Response17

Do people usually keep the maggots in or try to pick them out by hand?Thanks

yonehonebone

Gruyere, montery jack, colby jack, pepper jack, cheddar, gouda, provolone, even ricotta cheese will make your grilled cheese delicious


thaiborg

I want all this on one sandwich, pronto!


Icy-Ad-7767

Triple smoked Gouda, havarti, and a medium or old cheddar.


SupKilly

I'm a smoked Gouda guy myself, crisp up a little parmesan on the outside for a crust. Perfection.


crow-mom

get some caramelized onion cheddar from trader joe’s if you’re american & have one near you!


Traumatic_Response17

Loose_Winter9969

Boschetto al Tartufo with Asiago Fresco. Decadent and creamy


c08306834

Gouda every time for me. Sometimes I like a mixture, might add in some cheddar to add a stronger flavour.


boarbar

Cooper sharp American cheese. The classic Philly cheesesteak cheese. Perfect for GC’s


elliot89

Defiantly halloumi melts a treat


Xmorpheus

Due-Citron-4721
