Busting Grilled Cheese Myths (How To Make The BEST Grilled Cheese)

Love how vee joined in on the josh can’t count chant but she only had 1/4 not 2/4 😂

I've always been of the belief that you need two cheeses. Both a good melter (ex. processed american) and a flavorful stretcher (ex. cheddar). I find that yields the best combination of flavor vs texture.

Sourdough is always my favorite, but I like to mix cheese. Muenster is incredibly underappreciated.

Y'all forgot the best cheese to use: Muenster. It melts super well, and the taste compliments any bread or butter used.

Honestly this just saved me time cause I won’t need to butter the bread and toast both sides - making a quick dinner for the kids quicker. You guys are heros in my book.

Wait, Gordon wasn't criticizing "double toasted bread" he was criticizing Josh's fun way of talking lol. Cuz Josh said "put the bread on the pan bread side down" and Gordon was just processing it and his wording ended up being weird... Still a weird thing to criticize though.

There’s a bread you missed: Shokupan (Japanese milk bread)
It’s absolutely fantastic in grilled cheese. Super fluffy and gets nice and crispy. I recommend that anyone who sees this comment gives it a try

This episode feels like if the kids from Zoom grew up and got a cooking show and I love it so much. Also, Wal-Mart sells everything french loaves for $1 and they are freaking amazing.

Sourdough, with mayo on the outside, inside-smoked Gouda, cream cheese and cheddar. Always have to crisp the outside with some fried cheese also

The chemistry between them all is amazing

I've found muenster cheese to be the best for a grilled cheese. It melts well and tastes really good.

There’s no such thing as “too cheesy”…. You should be able to feel the cheese flowing through your veins!

Gouda is the best cheese for a grilled cheese! It melts great, tastes great and is low in lactose for those who are lactose intolerant. I also add a lid before the flip so that the cheese melts better, don't add a lid after cause then you'll influence the crust on the side that's already toasted.

I like making them the way my mom taught me: mayo on each of the inner sides, kraft cheese, plenty of butter in pan (mostly because it's easier to do). Definitely gonna try the grocery store sourdough suggestion.

Major respect to Josh for being willing to admit he was wrong about double toasting

Just dropping by to put my vote to make the opposite recipe at the end of the show to contrast to the winning combo just to see how much better it is. Or possibly make a frankenstein's monster of success despite the contrary opinion.

I got really into grilled cheeses in college because I got one on a whim from our cafe and the ones this one cafeteria lady made were like *impossibly* perfect and I've been trying to recreate them ever since. Also she'd always insist on giving me a pickle on the side, but the ones my school had were nasty so I'd just put it on top and she was right, pickle juice makes it.
The closest I've gotten to recreating it is with brownberry breads natural wheat (red with wavey wheat text), one slice kraft single, brushing it with melted butter, and then putting a pickle slice on top.
Also sour dough with horseradish mustard and swiss cheese is my second favorite.

As a proud San Luis Obispo native, I'm happy our local bread got representation! I'm a huge advocate for San Luis Sourdough in grilled cheese, using mayonnaise to crisp it up!

Possible hot take: Sure pan butter is great, but I've started doing pan butter AND mayo, and it's brilliant!

Vi: Josh can't count!
Also Vi: *Claimed she got one more than she actually got*

I honestly thought I was one of the only people to dip a grilled cheese in either bread and butter pickle juice or pepperoncini juice. Trevor is the man!

My favorite grilled cheese is honestly with mozzarella, especially to eat with tomato soup 👌

I love adding dill pickle slices and a bit of bacon on my grilled cheesers.

Well this is great. Now I have to go home and eat like 6 grilled cheese sandwiches. Thanks guys! 🥰

It would be cool if they all made their "prediction" dish and directly compared it with the winning dish at the end

I always dip my grilled cheese in sour cream. Soooo good!

While I often had grilled cheese with the processed cheese food product, either Kraft or government cheese, as a child, I find grilled cheese made with real cheese far superior in both flavor and texture.

I've never disagreed with you guys more in any video but I also just really love my grilled cheese 😂

I don't know if I've ever wanted a grilled cheese sandwich more than I do right now.

Given the fact that Gordon can't do a decent grilled cheese, he has no right to judge josh on his grilled cheese

I’m a big fan of using mayo to make my grilled cheese sammies. It’s easier to spread than butter and I dig the flavor it gives.

Anyone thinking of looking into this themselves, I have a suggestion from personal experience: melt the butter and mayo in a 50/50 ratio and mix well. Brush it onto the bread, you will not be disappointed.

My roommate also toasts the inside, adds toppings, and toasts the outside. His cooking is the reason I moved in with him, so that's an endorsement.

I love this series, cos I can actually apply it to my cooking. A Mac n Cheese episode would honestly help my life out so much.

Respect to Josh for being an adult and admitting his thought process was wrong when presented with new information and research.
but also Trevors Peporchinni juice dip sounds FIRE

Trevor heavy-breathing whilst professing his love for grilled cheese will forever be a mood

Yay Myth Munchers! One of my favorite shows in the world.

Ive grown up eating extra sharp cheddar cheese grilled cheese sandwiches so for me anything else just tastes wrong lol, I think the nostalgia factor is really important in a grilled cheese

I worked at five guys for years and the grilled cheeses were toasted in Mayo and they were amazing.

I've totally missed myth busters! ❤️ I love when it's actually helpful cooking info for us plebes, haha. Please, do more!! What next - Quesadillas, please?? Plain cheese, too. Mine are NEVER as good as Del Taco, and I don't understand why. 😭

I've always toasted both sides to, but I only use butter for toasting the outside. Try going dry when you toast the middle sides

This is my favorite series!!! More please!

Ive been a GMM fan for a long time, havent watched in a while, this is my first watch with this group and this group style video and its s perfect formula and a great group to have fun watching

I'm grabbing a pepperoncini jar the next time I'm at the store. The peppers DESTROY me in a way I won't describe here on the internet, but using the liquid as a grilled cheese dipping sauce sounds absolutely brilliant. Thanks, Trevor!

I love that Josh dips his grilled cheese in ketchup. I've done that since childhood too and people always give me crap about it. SOLIDARITY!

My winning formula mostly matches theirs. One minor addition to this, is that I always use a covered frying pan for grilled cheese to make sure it's extra melty. It's a toss up between American or Kraft singles, but the real comparison is with Kraft deli-selects, which totally win in my book. Super fun episode!

I love grilled cheese

I like to use a mix of smoked gouda and sharp cheddar on sour dough for my grilled cheese. It's incredible.

My fiance makes garlic buttered grilled cheese. I'm a huge fan of mozzarella grilled cheese as well, dipping in garlic aioli is also a go to

Toasting both sides is good if you’re using multiple cheeses, especially one with a higher melting point like parmesan

I used to toast both sides of the bread, until my friend made me a grilled cheese with only toasting one side of the bread, and it was SOOOOOO much better, to me.

My favorite way to make a grilled cheese is with Texas toast; the thickest you can find. Then with sliced cheddar cheese and then shredded cheddar as well. You sandwich the shredded in between two pieces of sliced… and with the shredded you get that little processed taste without having nasty Kraft cheese lol

I love the Sourdough from Costco, but it's hard to get even slices to make a great one :')

trevor: "then we have pan butter-"
nicole: "which is bread butter in spanish"
me: *realizes* nicole just blew my mind

I literally made grill cheese while watching this. Butter bread, sourdough, kraft & grated mozzarella, a lil extra butter on pan and drop sandwich right on the dollop of butter. Medium high on a cast iron skillet. Perfect and the cheese will stretch.

Peppercini juice all the time! Love it! Try it on/ with tuna salad too!

I used garlic aoli to make a grilled cheese one time and it came out amazing

honestly inspirational convinced me to try out french toast grilled cheese with that double sided toasting method

I'm thinking we need a good steak test. Talking of course at minimum which level to cook steak to (medium rare),sauce or no sauce (no sauce) and maybe which seasoning or cut of steak is best.

I've done ketchup on grilled cheese, it's so good. My brother in law does grape jelly on his grilled cheese.
Very Important: You can get Kraft Deluxe American cheese which is real American cheese, not cheese product. You can even get Kraft Deluxe White American cheese.

When I make Grilled Cheese I make at home is Mayo, sourdough, or rye bread, with one slice of cheddar and one slice of swiss cheese. So good!

Mayo is literally so good, like it's a step up from butter, it adds more flavor

Personal fave:
- potato bread
- butter in the pan
- whole grain mustard inside side
- gruyere
- brie
- sliced pear
- honey
- prosciutto
- more gruyere
Cheese flavor is complex, nutty and funky. Prosciutto adds some saltiness, the honey and pear adds sweetness and the mustard adds a bit of heat.

Since I was a kid I'd been buttering my bread when making grilled cheese. I tried pan buttering and it's SO much better.

Love a classic grilled cheese, but sharp cheddar grilled cheese hits so hard! Trust me!

After watching this video, I made one on the toast setting on my air fryer, with brioche bread, butter on bread, and Kraft Velvetta cheese singles

It's funny how Gordan gives criticism about grilled cheese sandwiches when he failed to even melt the cheese in his own version which is what makes the grilled cheese sandwich what we know and love about them.

My first time watching good mythical kitchen.
I have subscribed. Y’all are awesome!

As a San Luis native, the way “Luis” was pronounced in the beginning was accurate with out-of-towners. Also accurate that SLO sourdough is the best. Those guys literally threw packages of bread at me at the end of the farmers market because they didn’t want to bring it all home. I can easily make a bread winner joke, but I really did win, that bread is beautiful.

Loved the fun of this episode.

The key is to put the mayo on the inside of the bread, so you get the tang added to the cheese, makes it a little creamier, and you still get the butter in the outside of the bread.
I can't believe they didn't do a single round where the inside of the bread was spread.

I would totally watch a stream of these 4 playing Mario party on the switch. Great idea Trevor

I've used sandwich spread, which is similar to Big Mac sauce instead of butter or Mayo. It's good, it's a little sticky but the flavors there. Also I like a thick brioche 👍🏾

I've made grilled cheese with garlic seasoning on the outside to make garlic bread grilled cheese. It's pretty good. Just don't expect a classic grilled cheese taste.

the best grilled cheese I ever had was when I used some expensive melty creamy cheese that I tried at random for funsies.
I don't remember what cheese it was ;-;

Trevor definitely won the condiment challenge with the pepperoncini juice 😋😂 I love adding pickled jalapeños to mine so that sounds delicious. Truffle mayo sounds interesting though

I always go Extra Sharp Cheddar. that extra pungency in the extra sharp really goes well with the bread.

The absolute best condiment for a grilled cheese sandwich is French onion dip! Specifically Heluva Good brand. I started it at a very young age when I’d have a side of chips and dip with the sandwich and I will never turn back.
Another thing I have recently been doing is doing the normal butter outside, but spreading Mayo on the inside. Gives it more flavor and isn’t as dry

Love the show! Those girls have got to get their hair under control. Love the personalities and the and the fun!

25 minutes of grown adults chewing with their mouths open. Gotta love it

The real secret to an amazing grilled cheese is grilling the inside of the bread, not the outside. Toasty crunch inside, fluffy soft on the outside so you don't shred the roof of your mouth on sandpaper toast. You're welcome.

Sourdough is abundant in CA and it is something I miss so much having moved away. I love love love THAT exact bread! My mom has packed a loaf of it in her suitcase to bring to me ❤️

I watched this and went and made a grilled cheese on wheat bread. I grew up with parents pretty similar to what Vi and Josh both described, but idk. I still love a grilled cheese with wheat bread. Nostalgia I guess.

My mom actually taught me to use mayo a year ago when I asked her how the gets the bread so toasty and crispy, and I've been doing it since. It honestly doesn't seem like it should be as good as it actually is

I really need to know how Nicole makes grilled cheese in a microwave now...

It's so funny having grown up with San Luis Sourdough in the house as a kid that seeing Josh putting it on a pedestal is super weird. It's just good sourdough, it's not magical. 😂

Trevor's pepperoncini juice, closest to my fave of pickle juice. Go Trev!
ps I do the first 3 but use American (and Gouda, Havarti, Swiss, and sharp cheddar, and fried bologna, hot dogs, or Spam once in a great while)

As someone who lives in Wisconsin, hearing them say cheddar "wasn't artificial enough" killed me

So I got a question sometimes when making toasted sandwiches I spread mayo on both sides and have a bit of butter in the pan, what do yall think about that, like does that just sound like calories central?

*I know tomato soup isn't considered a condiment, but I couldn't imagine eating a GC with anything else...*

Best grilled cheese I've ever made was mayo, dark rye, with smoked cheddar and a little goat cheese.

The chemistry between them all is amazing

Just tried the pepperoncini juice with a grilled cheese and that is a fire combo!

Oh man, I so need a grilled cheese now...

The look on Nicole’s face after Josh said her family was disappointed in her lmao priceless

One day I was rushing through a grocery store when a kind woman asked me if I'd like to try a sample of a grilled cheese sandwich made on store brand rye bread served in a small plastic cup with a crinkle cut dill pickle chip alongside...I can still taste it in my mouth as I type this. Best sample EVER!

I made my grilled cheeses fancy the last few times I made it, I switched from craft cheese to pepper jack

You missed my favorite - old cheddar on rye bread. Butter spread on the bread. Oh, and just to be clear the only thing a grilled cheese can contain is cheese. Adding anything else makes it into a melt

5:29 Grilled cheese on artisanal wheat bread with tomato soup is the best!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that Vi was wrong too. She got 1/4 not 2/4 🤣
