The Perfect Grilled Cheese

What Makes A Grilled Cheese Perfect:
  • Multiple types of cheese
  • Mustard
  • An Element of Surprise -- in this case, sliced scallions
  • Special Bread -- like french bread or other crusty bread

    What to Do:
  • Butter your bread with a mustard of your choosing -- here I've used a rustic dijon on a Turano Panini Roll
  • Sprinkle with sliced scallions
  • Layer your cheeses carefully -- I've used Mozzarella, Feta, and Extra Sharp Cheddar (the feta is in the middle because Feta doesn't really melt, so it needs to be enveloped by the melty cheeses).

  • Toast in a panini machine. If you don't have one, throw it in the oven, and make sure to slice it in half first for optimal meltiness.



    What else you could do:
  • Spicy Creole Mustard - Provolone/Mozzarella/Cheddar-thinly sliced Green Peppers
  • Weber's Mustard - Extra-Sharp Cheddar/Provolone-Granny-Smith Apples
  • Dijon Mustard/Mayo - Cheddar/Monterey Jack/- Tomato
    Wow, I didn't work bacon into a single one of these! Make your own combo!
