Using that much parm? In this economy?? Ok I’ll try it

Just made this for the family tonight. Used our griddle and then transferred to a baking sheet for the oven. 100% will be doing this again. FYI, tomatoe soup goes great with this

The quest for the perfect grilled cheese is an endless but fruitful effort!

my "hack" is grilling the inside of the bread for a bit before assembling the sandwich then grilling the outside. this is great for if you like adding stuff like ham or maybe tuna cause it helps keep the sandwich from having any soggy bits

I started doing this years ago when I worked in a Deli. Now when I do this but I make garlic butter before I grate asiago cheese for my crust. Then I use Havarti and provolone for my gooey center. But even garlic butter and a nice sharp cheddar is really tasty.

No appliances were harmed in the making of this video

I’m a grilled cheese addict and never thought to do this! Thank you for an amazing hack!!! ❤

Use freshly shredded cheese in the middle, not individual cheese slices. It makes a world of difference!

One trick i seen recently that is genius. When plating your hot sandwich. Do not place it directly on a plate. The steam and condensation makes the outside moist and soft. Place a couple of chopsticks or forks on the plate to keep the sandwich from coming in contact with the plate. Your sammie will stay crispy. Perfect for that tomato soup dippin!😋

it adds a salty cheesy crunchy exterior that is not to be missed!

If you like your sandwich extra crunchy you might want to toast the bread prior to constructing the sandwich. I like it this way, especially when I'm using rye bread for my grilled cheese

The first thing I learned how to make when my parents got divorced was an inside out grilled cheese! Might sound dark but it’s what got me into cooking and I appreciate that to this day.

Wasn’t even hungry until I saw this!! Thank you

I’ve been doing this several years now and it’s amazing. Side note- Muenster cheese is by far the best cheese I’ve come across for a grilled cheese but honestly, just about anything needing cheese at all.

STOP referring to recipes as "hacks"!! It's a RECIPE, NOT A HACK!!

Next, mix a spoonful of Mayo with half a spoonful of salsa. Spread the mixture on what will be the inside of the sandwich before adding the cheese slices. You'll thank me later. You can get even fancier by adding sliced avocado and your preferred meat (bacon, sliced turkey, etc).

Was that munster? Yum! I just made these last night with Tomato soup. It Is a family favorite on rainy days! I've been doing the parm for years since I worked years ago at Sizzler, the memory of the cheese toast, yum. Hubby and I like havarti or cheddar the kids (who are in 40s, and 2 kids) like me to make theirs with Kraft american🤢. ( yes, I cook for my grown daughter with MS, her husband has Barretts disease, neither is healthy enough to cook for them so they live next door and I cook for 6 nightly) But ALWAYS use sourdough!

And, when you remove the pan from the oven, keep your oven mitt on the pan, so you don't grab it, forgetting that it's hot, and end up with third degree burns, like I did.

You make a "grilled" cheese sandwich. I make a "grilled cheese" sandwich. We are not the same.

I don't think I've seen someone make a grilled cheese with muenster; it's my husband's fave, so that's always how I make it for him. I'll have to try the parm for sure!

At least here in austrlaia, the old sizzler all you can eat buffet used to do a cheesy toast which was basically the first step of just putting parma cheese on one side and grilling that same side. Everyone loved that shit and i really miss it.

The easy way is to grill normally and then sprinkle on the parmesan and flip after an additional 2 minutes per side. Much more economical too.

Damn Caillou grew up to be a Chef good for him!

he gets very serious there "now don't touch it !! " lol

I did this a lot after you first posted this when you live in Colorado. Then I realized I was going to Costco every week for another slice of Parmigiano regiano. They are Hella good this way.

I learned to toast both sides of the bread for a grilled cheese. Definitely steps it up. Butter 2 slices, place buttered side down in hot pan, butter other side, turn over slices when brown,place cheese on toasted side, put cheese sides together, finish toasting, add a weight to smash it down a bit. Takes a good 22 minutes but it's worth it for a crispy grilled cheese. Cooper Sharp, don't need fancy. Maybe add some bacon occasionally. Delicious with some cauliflower-leek soup.

The sudden assertion of not touching it is hilarious

Buddy looks and sounds just like bill burr. Especially the "dont touch it!" Part lol

Looks great. 👍I brown bread/rolls in a skillet. Best dessert: Melt salted butter in a skillet & brown slice of plain Pound Cake on both sides. Top w ice cream. You’re welcome.

Looks good. I never tried finishing in the broiler, I always just had it in a frying pan. Something good I tried: when I had a buttered piece of bread in the pan, I put a slice of American cheese on the bread, then I used a potato peeler to shave on some havarti with jalepeno and then some pepperjack, then I covered that with another slice of American, then the other piece of bread (then of course flipped it over when the first side was browned). Came out good. Added a little zip to it.

You could mix the pre-grated Parmesan cheese I prefer fresh but you can mix the pre-grated with your butter and then any leftover butter you have you can store in your refrigerator for next time or you can put it on potatoes baked potatoes, and it will give you a beautiful, crunchy crust

I LOVE shredded parm! I use in eggs, box pizza, instant mashed potatoes, EVERYTHING!😂❤

I made something similar today. Put the butter and Parm on the outside, sliced extra sharp cheddar, added a little garlic powder and put the lid on the frying pan. Melty-melty and it was *DEEEEELICIOUS!* THANK YOU!

Keep it simple. This man: Nah let's level this up!

Shoutout to Chef John from food wishes. This also slaps. 👌

If the cheese doesnt melt while the two bread slices are together, thats just 2 cheese breads together

I’ve been doing this for years since this is basically sizzlers cheese toast.

Do this and use gruyere for the cheese inside. Thank me later

That grilled cheese was so good that the fridge was spared for once.

“Don’t touch it! “ 🤣🤣🤣😍🥪

When I'm really feelin my grilled cheese I do this, but put garlic butter on it instead. Fantastic with a tomato bisque

Parmigiano Reggiano actually is a cheese to it by itself… is so good just without toasting or melting it, it’s a pure gold

Looks so delicious 😊❤

Theres another explanation for work. Due to the cultural norms of the time, anyone who would just sit around and become a useless depressed lump rather than finding some kind of fulfilling and useful work would be considered mentally ill, and would be institutionalized until their brains are sufficiently reconfigured to enjoy the idea of doing fulfilling and useful work once again. Those who are apparently sane but refuse out of spite would be sent to penal colonies to learn the value of participating in the mutual betterment of a small group of people before being released back into society at large. In other words, in Star Trek's future, laziness is considered a mental illness and shiftlessness is considered a crime against society.

Any flavor of cheese works. Been doing this since 2017 when we had it at a dive in LA, Beer Belly. Sadly they are closed now. They also had deep fried pop tarts and stuffed French toast covered in Captain Crunch. Amazing!!!

Did it! Couple of mistakes I made, medium low heat-medium in dang electric. Cheese crazy. Too much and the ooze runners over. But I did use a flavored butter. My sine enjoyed it with his tomato and crab claw bisque.

" NOW, DON'T TOUCH IT ! " OK, Uncle Fester...

Im out. Cant even look at my broiler without it opening the gates of hell

You can do the same with shredded cheese like colby jack or pepper jack by half cooking the sandwich closed with no oil and then put the cheese in the pan and flip the sandwich into it for each side and flip when crispy.

I used cheddar but I made this for my oldest son the other day & his mind was blown. 😂 Parmesan sounds so much better though, I'll have to try it that way - or parmigiano regiano! 😊

Parmesan crusted grilled cheese good stuff. And I use the air fryer for my grilled cheese, it does an amazing job.

Here in NYC a big majority of restaurants just throw your sandwich on a plate and the sweat is unbelievable 💯 But now that I've seen what you do I'll let them know how to make a crunchy sandwich ! Thank you 👍🏻.

And no mayo in sight, the true grilled cheese lord of KZfaq

Traditional real grilled cheeses were named that for a reason. They were invented with regular cheese, not parmesan and cheese in the middle, outer bread buttered, fried.

This is like a micro detail that Sonny may or may not do on purpose, but I noticed how he placed the cheese slices on the bread. He places each slice with one side of the square all the way up against the edge of the bread lined up with the crust on the long side of the bread slice in opposite directions: one side the slice will be all the way to the left edge of the bread slice, and the other piece of cheese is lined up flush with the right side of the other slice, because the squares of cheese are not wide enough to cover the entirety of the bread's surface area if placed perfectly in the center... And so with the placement he uses, there is overlap from both slices of cheese that will ensure full cheese coverage when the halves of the sandwich are pressed together-wall-to-wall cheese coverage with no empty, cheeseless, dry toast crust, parts of the sandwich 🤙🏿 Something so small that just expanded my mind. It's one of those "why didn't *_I_* think of that??" Makes me think of Zoolander where Matilda tells Hansel the files are in the computer, and he says in that mind-blown, astounded whispered voice: _...it's so _*_SIMPLE._*

"Now don't touch it" Dumbledore said calmly.

toast one side first, butter and dip the untoasted side then sear, add cheese and assemble an even crispier grilled cheese mmm

Bro just spent $20 in electricity and $30 in Parmesan cheese to make a kid’s sandwich.

Yes and lightly putting a little garlic salt. Omg good

It's even more amazing if you buy some ripe heirloom tomatoes, and add 5-6 slices layered. Grind a bit of sea or pink salt on top. Must slow cook

You have to "butter" your bread with something, but using bacon grease puts all that bacony flavor right on your tongue. But I did try this as a change of pace and it's pretty good. But it's NOT bacon.

Parm got that stinky cheese taste. Butter does just fine!

Nobody: This Guy: "How to fuck up a grilled cheese sandwich!!"

Fridge: Whew!! I got lucky charms this time!😂😂

Add garlic salt, maybe a crack of black pepper in there. I like to add a couple shakes of red pepper flake as well. Brings it to a whole new level.

“There’s just no other way” Sir you have shown us many other ways 😆

Butter each side. Throw it in skillet, then add cheese then close the sandwich. Maybe i explained it good enough. Been like this since i was a kid.

I dunno if I 420 inspired created a new thing or not, but... French Toast Grilled Cheese!!! Make a savory custard, dip yer stale bread, fry in butter. Flip slightly prematurely, add cheese to the grilled side. Top with the other slice, grilled side down. Flip after 2 or 3 min. Fry till done. OMD!! (Oh My Dog!!) So Good!!!!

Nice work Sonny! Dig’n the Short Videos🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥🔥

It's a grilled cheese...... within a grilled cheese. As Meek Mill once said, "It's levels to this shit."

GRILLED CHEESE ALSO TASTES EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU GRILL 2 SLICES BREAD ONE SIDE SET THEM ASIDE ADD CHEESE ON GRILLED SIDE CLOSE IT RETURN IT TO BE GRILLED ON BOTH UNGRILLED SIDES AND THATS THE REAL MASTER PIECE OF CRUNCH IN THE BREAD & OOEY GOOEY RICHNESS OF THE MELTED CHEESE !

I am going home from work and making this!

Also you can just put the butter on the pan and lay your bread on the melted butter and save the hassle of buttering the bread itself.

Ain't nobody firing up.the oven to make grilled cheese

"Now don't touch it!"

I did this at work. Instead of butter, I used a cream dill aoli. Once it came out of the oven, I added bacon, smoked salmon, avocado, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze before closing it up. :) The next experiment will be a Tabasco aoli with the parmesan, short braised beef rib, and a creamy A1 sauce on the inside.

Let’s wait for chef Tyler to approve this

Define "finish it in the broiler"

Now DONT TOUCH IT 😂

For me, it’s my home baked sourdough bread that really makes it! Since I’ve been baking sourdough, I can no longer force myself to eat commercially produced “bread.”

i make my ommlettes by putting cheese down first and the toppings, like green onion, bacon bits salt and pepper, once the cheese melts, drop the beaten eggs in, and cover for a couple minutes. then fold it up and serve

I cant believe people exist who don’t grill both sides of the bread. I never put down cheese on soft bread. Crisp up the side That The cheese is going on first, then put the two sides together and then grill the outside sides. Also, mayonnaise works far better than butter. Mayonnaise has the benefit of the fat, like butter, but mayonnaise also has egg, which helps the bread crisp perfectly. Almost like something that is battered and fried. You also get that slight tangy flavor from the mayo. It’s just a win-win all around. 👌🏽 I made Home made tomato bisque tonight, and I currently have brioche dough Proofing in My Kirchen, so perhaps I’ll make a grilled cheese on homemade bread tomorrow. There’s nothing like a crispy grilled cheese sandwich dipped in a smooth and creamy tomato bisque. 🤤

American cheese. Buttered bread. Light fry. Done. If given the chance, these dudes would try to "improve" the mona lisa.

Add a little ham👍

That is really good, we also add garlic salt. Yum to the max.

This is basically two slices of complimentary Sizzler cheese toast turned into a grilled cheese sandwhich. Genius! 🙌🏽🤤👏🏽👏🏽

Someone call Chef Tyler lol

Chef John (Food Wishes) teaches this and I am very pleased to see you do it here, Sonny.

how to make delicious cheap comfort food as expensive as freakin' possible...

Yum! Gotta love a classic grilled cheese.

I just ate, but I guess I can squeeze in some grilled cheese sandwiches. Squeezing in out later 😂

No other way? How about a thin slice of tomato and some bacon in the middle of the two cheese slices? YUM

I like that Parmesan cheese hack. I actually put a little butter on what is going to be the inside of the sandwich and then I grill that side face down until it just starts to brown. Then I flip them over and lay the cheese on which starts to melt faster. Then I put the two pieces together and finish grilling.

The entire purpose of grilled cheese is quick and simple, butter cheese and bread, then eat. Not all these extra steps that takes a 4 minute thing to 20 minutes.

Rich Man makes peasant’s breakfast more expensive to make 😅

how to waste 5 bucks worth of parmesan on a 50 cent sandwich

Wow! That looks so good. Yum!

Creative! And simple!

Looks amazing! Thanks

U right I been missing out. Thanks my man!!!!!😂😂🎉
