Kyle’s Kitchen- Grilled Cheese on an Actual Grill

“Grilled Cheese”.   It’s a lie by The Man because we all know that grilled cheese involves synthetic cheese, a skillet, and too much butter.  No grill needed.  But Kyle will rock your world with this month’s recipe, a grilled cheese sandwich that actually involves a grill!

You’ll need a REAL grill, one with a lid that closes, and that’s the secret.  The same smoke that adds flavor to a steak adds flavor to all the ingredients of a grilled cheese sandwich.  Get creative… add turkey, grilled onions, or sliced eggplant.  And get grilling!

Original recipe in Food Republic

Prep time: 10 min       Cook time:  10 min       1 sandwich

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 ounces cheese that melts well, like American, cheddar, pepper jack or Havarti
  • Something to add a little substance and soak up the smoky flavor, like turkey, grilled veggies, caramelized onions or roasted red peppers

Directions

  • Preheat your grill to medium and brush the grates til they’re spotless. Bits of charred stuff aren’t so nice on bread.
  • Spread the butter on both sides of the bread, then assemble the sandwich.
  • Place the sandwich on the grill, press down firmly once with a sturdy spatula, then close the lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes, checking halfway through to make sure no spots are scorching.
  • Flip and cook on the other side for 3-4 minutes. If the bread is toasting too quickly, move to indirect heat.
  • Remove from the grill, slice in half and serve.
