GRILLED CHEESE, DINER STYLE



Grilled Cheese, Diner Style image

The mayonnaise in place of the butter makes the bread toast evenly and gives a similar yet different crispiness. This is how they made it on the grill at a diner I used to frequent, the kind where the grill is behind the counter and you can watch. CAUTION: using low fat or no fat mayo or even miracle whip will change the outcome of the final product, the first 2 contain water and the second sugar that does not act in the same manor as an oil or fat sub.

  • Spread remaining mayonnaise onto second slice of bread and place mayonnaise side up on top of cheese.
  • Cook 3 minutes, or until bread is toasty brown, turn and repeat.
  • Note: Miracle Whip does not work for this, as the sugar in it tends to burn.

BRIE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Adapted from the Two Brothers Roundhouse restaurant in Aurora, IL which uses Brioche. Since Brioche is so hard to come by, I have substituted French Bread. The Quince Jam is the hardest to find, I found it at Williams Sonoma.
