1. Why is fat spread on the bread different than fat poured in the pan? The sandwich comes out different depending your method here. 1A. Which method do you prefer?

  2. What fat do you use? Butter? Mayonnaise? Some super cool other thing that I haven’t tried? Again the sandwich comes out different, both in flavor and texture depending on the fat of choice.

  3. Best cheese and bread for the sandwich?

    1. (Pure opinion) I feel like there’s a difference in the level of saturation in the bread before the toasted patina forms. Spread before soaks deeper, in the pan seems to crust faster and thinner.

    2. Butter, unless we’ve got a duck hen laying at inopportune times. Then it’s duck egg mayo.

    3. Grilled cheese sandwiches are a near-perfect conveyance mechanism for soups. For us, tomato soups get sharp cheddar, butternut and acorn squash soups tend to get a provolone, and I’m fond of smoked cheeses for pumpkin soup. Sourdoughs are great but we’re also fans of cracked wheat breads.

      I prefer mayo, spread on the bread. Any type of melty cheese will work, no hard like provolone or super crumbly liek feta. Any bread can also make a good grilled cheese. I have had amazing Swiss and rye grilled cheese. I also consider a cheese quesadilla a grilled cheese and I make those often as well!

      Love duck eggs never had duck egg mayo.
