I’m grocery shopping rn and need to do a quick nostr poll:
What cheese is your favorite for a grilled cheese?
Swiss is immediately disqualified because I don’t like it and I’m the only hole in this house.
Thank you.

Extra sharp cheddar
Really? What bread do you use with it? I like cheddar as an accessory cheese, but have never really let it be the star of the show before. This is interesting
💯
Sharp white cheddar. There is no second best.
Popular opinion with the cheddar, gonna have to do it
Never had gjetost on grilled cheese but I bet it'd rock alongside some 1-2 year aged cheddar.
Another I’ve never heard of 🤯
Sharp ched
Cheddar
Brie
Soooo melty goodness
One of my friends despises Brie and I take her word for it, so I haven't tried it.
Cheddar 100%
Cheese is good but Gruyère is my favorite for grilled cheese.
Cheddar*
Hm
What about both?
I think cheddar would overwhelm gru. Plus cheddar cooks differently I’d be afraid to do it together.
I'll try a gruyere grilled cheese then.
It sounds safer than David's brie suggestion.
Brie is insane fo grilled cheese. I would never use Brie.
Damnit. I don’t get the Gruyère this time
It’s ok cheddar is delicious. When I cook grilled cheese, I pan fry it, but I don’t use butter. I use a thin layer of mayo on the outside of the bread.
Fun fact: you can put cheese inside *and* outside your sandwich. A crispy cheesy grilled crust is so good. A little shredded cheese once it's golden to melt, then flip and let it fry a bit.
Shredded cheese on the outside is the secret move. Amazing results.
Those little bits of fried cheese that fall off are so good, it only made sense to coat the whole sandwich in it.
I used to do it a lot when I was a teen. Somehow I stopped at some point.
You don’t strike me as someone who was once a teen.
Old Cheddar
White Sharp Cheddar, hands down.
I'm going with legally distinct "pasturized prepared cheese product"
I guess I don’t want an unprepared cheese. What would that be, milk? 😂
Craft singles lfg XD
Hey, it says "cheddar" in the ingredients 🤭
Old Amsterdam, or Gruyère.
Yes! That too.
fresh camembert 🥰
Gruyere or fontina
Yo is Gruyère like hella expensive or am I just looking at a fancy one?
It's usually not cheap...I want to say I paid like $8 for the piece I got for Thanksgiving. Not sure what the price per lb is.
Ok this one is 30 so I think it’s just extra fancy
Oh shit, for how much? Is that a price per pound or is that a this is what we have and it's what you're getting?
I was worried cheddar would be left out but pleasantly surprised with its representation! ;)
When I picture cheese in my head, it's always cheddar first.

Gueggisberg baby swiss is different, and you should try it. Failing that, Gouda?
We’ve done American, Gouda, and provolone a lot and I wanna broaden my horizons. I’m scared of baby Swiss even though I haven’t tried it 😂
„Swiss“ isn’t one cheese, there are dozens of different cheese varieties in Switzerland. But if you’re looking for a cheese to put on a grill, I‘d suggest Halloumi as well. Swiss cheese varieties generally melt well (put them over some potatoes or pasta, or make a Fondue), but aren’t suitable for grilling IMHO. And there are many holes in Switzerland by now unfortunately…
I just learned of halloumi, but my market didn’t have it or maybe I just need to go in next time
sharp cheddar
Grueyere or Emmental. Throw some Fontina or Parmesan in there for some extra flavor
I'm dying here, what did you get??
Muenster. Raw cheese. Or at least the A2A2
Jalapeño Cheddar
And

Cheddar
I like a nice provolone or sharp cheddar. American cheese is the classic. Big ups for goat cheese mozzarella with thin sliced tomato, wilted spinach and pickled red onion.
Muenster is elite for melting but I find it a little lacking in flavor so mixed with a good cheddar on sourdough.
I think that’s the thing with professionals. They know which cheese mix well. I don’t even know what I want my primary cheese to be yet so I ordered a whole bunch
Cooper sharp, but you can only get it in Pennsylvania i believe. So guess your shit out of luck if you're not
Well thanks a lot 😂
Montary Jack. Nice zinger
Its not about the cheese though... It's the onions! MMMMM and tallow to fry.
Munster or havarti
Cheddar + mozzarella + manchego or gruyere
Armstrong Cheddar
