    I make mine with whole wheat and sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on each side of the the sandwich while it's browning in the skillet.

    I had a "texas toast" Grilled Cheese at a restaurant recently that used so much butter that the bread became soggy and shrunk up, and the thickness of the crust prevented it from browning properly. That's too much butter.

    Amen, and that's too much bread anyway. I agree it's a fine line and individual tastes will differ, but from what I'm reading I suspect I'm more on the heavy butter side of things.

    When I make a sandwich for my calorie conscious wife I often just spray each side with Pam just to keep it from sticking...but I just miss the butter flavors.

    I make my grilled cheeses almost the exact same way, but I have one of those big cast-iron griddles that fits over 2 burners to I can brown both slices of bread at the same time before applying the cheese. And I prefer thick sourdough bread and Kraft mild cheddar cheese. I like a good crunchy grilled cheese sandwich with oozing cheese. Served with some hot chicken noodle soup. Yum! Makes for an easy 5-minutes-till-done dinner.

    For the perfectly browned grilcheesamich, I use a toaster oven instead of a frying pan. And real cheese, usually a blend of cheddar and mozzarella, with a sprinkling of feta. Yum.

    How funny that this thread pops up a day after I have my first grilled cheese sandwich in months! I didn't know that there were more recipes than good ol' American cheese on white toast... sounds interesting... maybe I'll start working on becoming a grilled cheese connoisseur...
