It's the little things that make a great grilled cheese. I use plain ol' white bread, real butter, and deli cheese (not singles).
Soften the butter, spread it on the bread. Put one piece of the bread in the pan (medium heat), and put a piece of cheese on it. Let it cook like that until you are ready to flip it. Then put on whatever extra cheese you want. I use another piece and a half. Put the second piece of bread on, and flip it.
The idea is to prevent the butter on the second slice from melting before you flip it. That way you don't end up with a soggy, greasy, flat, unevenly cooked bottom piece. It also allows you to make a layer of brown cheese (if you like that) after the pan is nicely heated, and has a layer of butter on it. When the cheese hanging over the edge hits the pan, it browns evenly and doesn't stick.
When it is almost done, I slice it diagonally, and pull the two pieces apart slightly. This lets the cheese flow between the two halves, and creates a nice browned cheese separator.
I might have over-analyzed this, but... mmmm.

The only thing that sounds better than making a drunk 2 AM grilled cheese is getting depressed Whataburger at 2 AM.

I want to make a restaurant called "Grill Me a Cheese!" and it'll be like the Soup Nazi where you only get your order if you say "grill me a cheese with..."
And for the record you can only get it with cheese and bread. Because anything else is a melt. But we'd have a bunch of different types of cheese and bread.
I have some colby jack, but I"m out of bread.

I did start buying bread from the local bakery around the block though. Super great fresh Italian bread.

Just 11 more punches until I get a free loaf.

This.
Seriously, the recipe I put on page one of this thread makes great tomato soup. Only change I make is fuck tons of crushed red pepper instead of a pinch.
Then the next morning I reheat the soup in a pan and poach a couple of eggs in it like I'm some fancy ass fuck that shows regularly and doesn't have an unkempt beard.
