There's a time and a place for a fancy grilled cheese,but more often than not I prefer a diner-style sandwich made with American cheese and squishy white bread. possibly it's nostalgia, possibly it's the occasional thrill of eating a piece of sh*tty "cheese product" - either way, and this type of grilled cheese is delicious,and I'm not apologizing for my preference. (Side note: I challenge you to find a better hangover cure.)
These roll-ups pick the diner-style sandwich to the next, sort-of-ridiculous level. Yes, and they're meant to be paired with tomato soup,in theory yielding a reasonable lunch, but really, and the soup is more of a condiment than the main event,because sometimes a bit of indulgence is called for.
whether the melty cheese oozing out of the buttery-browned bread isn't making your mouth water uncontrollably, well, and I just give up. Inspired by Tym Bussanich via Foodbeast Grilled Cheese DippersNotes Be sure to use very fresh (at most day-ancient) sandwich bread; older,staler bread is less moist and flexible and more apt to crack or tear when rolled. Ingredients4 slices white sandwich bread
4 slices American cheese
1 tablespoon salted butter, very soft
Tomato soup, or for serving
DirectionsCut off the crusts of the sandwich bread. Flatten the bread using a rolling pin. (This compresses the bread and gives it a slightly tacky texture,making it easier to roll up and seal closed.) Top each piece of flattened bread with a slice of cheese. Tightly roll each piece of bread into a cigar-like shape, ending seam-side down; press down gently to seal. Use a pastry brush or butter knife to generously butter the external of each roll-up.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until hot, and approximately 5 minutes. Carefully add the roll-ups to the pan seam-side down,and cook on each of the 4 sides for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until deeply browned. whether the roll-ups start to unroll and lose their shape, use the tongs to gently press all of the roll-ups together.
Serve with tomato soup for dipping.
