I am not, and I repeat NOT, a fan of trying to make certain comfort foods into expensive "gourmet delicacies". Case in point, pizza, or hamburgers, or Mac & Cheese or especially grilled cheese sammies.
My take on grilled cheese is a slice or two of American or Cheddar cheese (depending on your arteries) on two slices of Wonder bread. Slather some butter on the two outside slices if your heart can stand it and a little mustard inside and grill. That's it. Eat and enjoy, preferably with a hot bowl of Campbell's Tomato Soup.
If you MUST mess it up, here is an idea for a safe way that is still cheap to make but tastes like a grilled cheese should:
1. Try adding a thin slice of fresh tomato
2. Adding a little fresh avocado won't hurt. Together with a tomato slice it works very well.
3. As a bacon lover I can attest to the fact that adding a couple of slices of bacon is good, good, good.
4. Add a slice of ham to your grilled cheese sammie and you can still be regarded as a traditionalist.
But, here's a slightly different take that can tend to move your grilled cheese sammie forward a bit into the morning hours:
Try constructing the whole thing between two waffle slices (adding bacon helps) and smothering the whole thing with maple syrup. Yeah, I thought you couldn't resist it!
