You know when you make a grilled cheese (or Toastie, as we call it back home) and the cheese oozes out into the pan then it gets browned and crispy? It gets all nutty tasting and good and you find yourself sneaking the good bits? This sandwich has that crispy, nutty cheese on the outside of the bread as well as all the amazing melty cheese inside and it’s oh so crispy. Could this just be the best ever grilled cheese sandwich you’ve ever had? Dare I call it a gourmet grilled cheese? OK, I wont push my luck but I’m thinking about it!
Tastes like a Parmesan Crisp
Have you ever had a Parmesan crisp/frico? Grated parmesan is melted in a pan and it gets crispy and nutty, that’s what the outside of the sandwich is like. Yeah, I know, seriously yum.
How to get the best cheese pull
Mozzarella has the best cheese pull (which is the stretchy chain of melted cheese that appears when it is pulled apart), but the gruyere used in this recipe does a very good job too.
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup – The Best Comfort Food Combination
Don’t think that I’ve forgotten the grilled cheese sandwich’s best friend either. Who doesn’t love a classic grilled cheese and tomato soup? This truly is comfort food made in heaven! I have a fantastic recipe for my 30 Minute Tomato Basil Soup. This soup is so easy and is made with fresh tomatoes to get the best flavor possible. It’s the ultimate compliment to the cheesy goodness.
What is the best bread for a grilled cheese sandwich?
I would say any sliced bread that you like. Multigrain is good for flavor and sourdough is always a favorite.
Triple Grilled Cheese Combinations
The combinations of cheese you could use for this triple grilled cheese are endless. If it is a good melting cheese, then it can be used. I used a combination of sharp white cheddar and gruyere because they are 2 of my favorites and they make for a flavorful combination, but the ultimate choice is yours.
The best pan to make grilled cheese
Just about any that will fit, except stainless steel and a grill pan. You don’t want the cheese sticking. Non-stick, cast iron, enameled cast iron all will get the job done. Even a flat panini press will get the job done.
Grilled cheese optional additions
They are endless. Some of my favorites are grilled onions, sliced tomato, bacon, ham, pesto and fresh herbs like basil.
