    Mine usually have mozzarella and tomatoes and basil that have been marinated in balsamic vinegar. My grilled cheese sandwiches kick average grilled cheese sandwich *kitten*!

    I must make this. Why did I not think of that before? Sounds scrumptious.

    No tomato on grilled cheese. Dipping in ketchup is okay, but putting ACTUAL tomato on a grilled cheese is an abomination.

    I agree, although a grilled tomato sandwich with cheese is delicious.

    Thanks! I was just about to point out, that unless the cheese is the only ingredient, protocol dictates that the sandwich is named by what other ingredients are involved.

    Examples:
    A Ham sandwich with cheese.
    A cucumber sandwich with cream cheese
    A roast beef with Cheddar.
    A tomato sandwich with cheese.
    Onion sandwich with cheese.

    Grilled Cheese is just cheese.

    Incorrect. It depends on the ratio of the ingredients. If cheese is the dominant ingredient, it remains a grilled cheese+.

    Do they dip it in ketchup or tomato soup? I thought that was pretty standard with grilled cheese.

    Ketchup is where it's at (when it's a particularly greasy grill cheese, anyway).
    Especially on texas toast. Oh lawdy that hits the spot.

    My "grilled cheese"
    2 pieces sourdough
    some turkey
    some proscuittio
    1.5 pieces Muenster
    1.5 pieces smoked gouda
    2 pieces sharp cheddar
    half an avocado

    It's hefty and fancy but it's better than anything you've put in your mouth.

    That is just a grilled turkey sandwich with avocado and cheese.

    The beautiful simplicity that is a grilled cheese sandwich, should not be sullied by other ingredients. I'm sure they are nice sandwiches, but you have to call them something else. I will not stand by as you pervert the good name of Grilled Cheese with your Ingredients of Evil.

    Hear Hear! Band together against evil abominations.

    Wait. Is this a dvisive topic?

    Yes, all we are waiting for now is the lock. So, in before the lock!

    I only do raw tomato. It heats up nicely during the grilling process, just slice them thin. :)

    For sure, that would definitely work.

    Lots of fruit, like pear for example, goes well with cheese so I don't know why tomatoes seem so strange...

    Sure, just call it a grilled cheese, why not just throw all the rules out the window.

    Cheese bread, side bowl of tomato soup. Just end it there.

    I have the weirdest hard-on right now.

    I also like onions on mine.

    I will be making one tonight. Sitting in the bedroom floor. Savoring every last as I sit there in a state of Nirvana

    tomato on a grilled cheese is great but spread a little hummus on the bread, and it will be the best grilled cheese ever

    We'll have to make a schedule for who is bringing the nutella and bacon on which nights.
