So we are giving up all highly processed foods and american cheese has been booted from our diets. I know this seems silly but what other cheeses work well for grilled cheese sandwiches? Ive only ever used american!

    I love the way fontina cheese melts. Mixing cheeses in a grilled cheese sandwich is awesome too. Cheddar, swiss, gouda, havarti, fontina, jack... any of those cheeses would be nice. Basically if it's a cheese you like you'll probably like it in a grilled cheese sandwich, hehe :)

    Any soft cheese will work, but I prefer cheddar.

    I make grilled cheese in the toaster oven instead of a greasy pan. Just carefully place the cheese on the two slices of bread (don't overhang the edges so the cheese won't drip onto the heating element) and set the toaster oven on "toast" until the cheese has melted.

    Pretty much any cheese will work. I like swiss, but my husband usually uses extra sharp cheddar. Watch out though, it's easy to go overboard with your cheese servings, especially when slicing from a block. I usually add some greens and a tomato to mine to make it more filling.

    I like sharp cheddar best, but muenster melts really nicely. We cheat a bit and get pre-sliced real cheese, for the convenience of american without the processedness.

    Hungry girl on cooking channel did a slice of fat free american cheese, with laughing cow cheese your choice of flavors, then added roasted red peppers. She lightly sprayed bread with olive oil spray and grilled. Haven't tried yet, but going to.

    why not just turn the toaster on its side?

    Two slices of Arnold's 100% Whole Wheat Bread, into the toaster.
    Add one slice of Cheddar, microwave for 10-15 seconds.
    Healthy Grilled Cheese!

    You could try a grilled cheese sandwich made with white cheddar and green apples on whole-grain bread. :)

    Muenster!! Stick it in the oven so the bread comes out crispy instead of greasy and buttery and enjoy!!!

    You also don't need 2 slices of bread, just throw it on one slice and eat it pizza style.

    ^^ MmmMmmm...this lady knows cheese!! She's right about creating combos...it makes each sandwich a true adventure!!

    I'd also like to add gorgonzola to the list! :bigsmile:
