Smashed Brioche Grilled Cheese
ฝัง

- This concept comes courtesy of Brandon Humphries at Ocmulgee Brewpub: ocmulgeebrewpub.com/ #notanad
For a basic sandwich, put one or two slices of cheddar cheese and a slice of Swiss in a brioche hamburger bun. Melt some butter in a pan on medium or medium-low heat, place the sandwich in, and then press it down with a weight - I use a brick wrapped in aluminum foil. Cook the first side for about three minutes, or until it's golden brown and the cheese is melting. Flip and cook the other side under the brick for about two minutes. Both sides should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted through. If you want oozy cheese, slice the sandwich in the pan when it still has a minute or two to go. If you don't care, slice it on a board when it's done.
My variations:
1) Dab the inside of both halves of the bun with balsamic vinegar, put a slice of cheese on each side and a few spinach leaves in the middle. Cook as before. Sandwich and salad in one bite!
2) Smear mustard on the inside of one half, put three dill pickle slices on the other half, lay Swiss on both sides, and lay two folded slices of Serrano ham in the middle. Cook as before. Cubano!
3) Beat one egg in a bowl with pepper and a pinch of salt. Melt some butter in a pan, and pour in the egg, mixing it with a spatula until an even curd forms across half the pan. Tip the pan to let egg run into any gaps. When the half-omelet is half-cooked, fold it over on itself to make a quarter-omelet and remove while it's still very runny. Layer the egg on a bun with cheddar and cook as before, but don't press the brick into the sandwich with any extra force or it will squeeze out the runny egg. Good morning!
MY COOKING PHILOSOPHY:
I don't like weighing or measuring things if I don't have to, and I don't like to be constantly checking a recipe as I cook. I don't care that volume is a bad way of measuring things - it's usually easier. I like for a recipe to get me in the ballpark, and then I like to eyeball and improvise the rest. If you're like me, my goal with these videos is to give you a sense of how the food should look and feel as you're cooking it, rather than give you a refined formula to reproduce. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

“But reality is often cruel, people who are true to their feelings are pushed and shoved into a corner where they are getting discrimination because you go against the flow, the flow of normalcy, and the opposite goes to people who are in the higher point in life which is often than not people taking advantage of others, scum if you will, and such people that are objectively (and subjectively) better than others are no where to be seen, and often than not these "better people" if you will are fake, rotten inside, and only does it for the praise they get. Humans are not at all "humane"if you will.” - Me (inspired by books talking how inhumane we humans are)

Jamieson Mallari why I season my salt, not my steak
As a student, I've tried many different breads with my grilled cheeses, and here are my verdicts:
-Basic white: perfectly fine, my go-to when I don't have any nicer bread
-Brown: harder to gauge browning and too strongly flavoured. Works in a pinch, but not my favourite
-White dinner roll: tastes good and browns well, but some can be too bouncy to smash properly, leading to a bready result with unmelted cheese. Be careful
-Soda bread/crusty loaf: doesn't work well. The crusts can be strongly flavoured and are hard enough to hinder good smashing. Crust also tends to burn before cheese is melted
-Brioche loaf: browns excellently and looks great, but unfortunately every loaf I've tried has been far, far too sweet to combine with cheese. Could work with cranberry and brie, say, but I'm not into that
-Brioche bun: browns excellently, looks great, and tastes great. Can go quite greasy though, and the resulting crust is borderline too hard for my liking
- *Ciabatta roll* : easily my favourite. The dense crust doesn't absorb butter which leads to good and even browning, but it doesn't go rock-hard like brioche. The bread itself is fluffy but not springy so it can be smashed, and the bubbles in the bread create little pockets of cheese which are divine. Try it and tell me it's not lifechanging.
Thanks for the science! Your contribution to Humanity deserves commendation!
I swear this could be written _by_ Ragusea himself and not a word would change, are you sure this isn't Adam undercover trying not to draw attention to himself?

I usually use at least 3 standard sized slices of cheese as a minimum for grilled cheese, sometimes 4. If I'm really hungry I might make a double decker grilled cheese (2 slices of normal bread with a 3 pre toasted slice between them) and then use 6 slices of cheese. I dont plan on living past 40 however.

Thank you mr internet cook man. I made this the other day and it turned out fantastic. I made it using a slice of cheddar topped with Arugula, then a slice of Provologne with some Prosciutto I crisped up in the microwave, topped by another slice of cheddar. It was perfect the crispy butter sweet lightness of the bun with the saltiness of the prosciutto and the slight bitterness of the Arugula. Perfect.

I made one of these this morning and it tasted amazing!

How do you not want too much cheese on a grilled cheese Sandwich
Fwiw, I agree with Adam that there is such thing as too much cheese, especially with this specific sandwich where the Brioche’s sweetness is an important element flavor wise. Essentially you don’t want the cheese to overpower the flavor of the brioche, along with it being more uniform in terms of texture when you use less cheese.
kong732ify you used a lot of fancy terminology however more cheese is always correct
Too much cheese and it wont melt through, especially with a sweet bun you're going to burn the sugars if you have to cook it long enough to get it to all melt.

While I don't have brioche buns with me at the moment, this sandwich still turned out great with a different hamburger bun. The fried cheese around the outside is honestly the best part.
a while back just for funsies I made a grilled cheese out of a stale glazed doughnut; it was SO delicious that it's now my favorite way to have a grilled cheese. When I don't have any glazed doughnuts around I just sprinkle some sugar in the pan before I put the sammy in, buttered side down as per usual; I'll sprinkle more sugar in the pan when I'm flipping it so both sides will have that sweetness. I recommend somebody try it! When I mentioned it to my friends and family they all thought I was crazy and wouldn't even try it :( I'm just obsessed with the sweet and savory combo
This reminds me of the paninis from Taranto, Italy. At the time I was there, it was 2000 lira per sandwich (about a $1US). We’d get a couple of those and a bottle of Coca-cola made with cane sugar (which is basically never available in the US anymore) for a quick $2.50 lunch. It was so good.
I know you left this comment a year ago but nearly every grocery store in the country sells coca cola from mexico which is made with cane sugar

This is really well done. Short, informative and the right amount of editing. This is perfection
I've been doing lightly smashed grilled cheese BLTs on potato bread for most of my life and I love it, just do the grilled cheese part open face cooking style w/ cheese on each side then fill w/ BLT and close it and give it a little more heat.... If you really like the grilled cheese crust then toast the inside and put the cheese on then put your filling on the bottom bun and smash the top bun on a little so it sticks and flip a couple of times so it melts throughout.

Tried this at home and I got pretty good results by just using a spatula to do the pressing. It helps if you hold the spatula down with one hand and use another item (I used the handle of a wooden spoon) to press down on it.
