Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for Many

You can make them this way for just one sandwich too (I use the toaster oven). Sometimes I don't use the butter at all. My mom always made them this way for me when I was a kid. When I ordered a grilled cheese in the high school cafeteria and commented to everyone at my table that this wasn't how grilled cheese is supposed to be, they all looked at me like I was crazy! I had no idea grilled cheese was supposed to be fried and greasy! I guess technically this is really toasted cheese, but whatever you call it, it's good. One other thing my mom used to do is put finely chopped onion on each sandwich half, on top of the cheese. The onion would soften up under the broiler. Mmmmm-mmmmm.

What an easy way to make Grilled sandwiches that are delicious! I used Texas Toast and made 7 sandwiches of all combinations. For DH i used Chipotle Cheddar, Sliced Turkey and tomato, for my Dad I used regular cheese slices, turkey, tomato and onion. For the 3 grandkids just cheese and for my DD cheese and turkey slices. Nice to put the sandwiches together and just pop them in the oven. Next week I will try cheese, bacon (precooked) and tomato. Thanks for the great recipe!

I served these (along with Minestrone) for a Packers game today - all the guys loved them! I made some with bacon, some with turkey, and some plain cheese. Cut all in half, and everyone could sample their preference. Thanks for sharing Little Old Me - a great way to serve a crowd.

I like to lighten up the food I cook, so I used Pam instead of butter. While this works perfectly for grilled cheese sandwiches made on my Foreman grill, it made these sandwiches made in the oven WAY crunchy! My daughter loved it this way. Great idea to make them in the oven. Oh, I also add a touch of mayonaisse to the sandwich.

Fantastic, shocking how a different cooking technique changed the texture and flavor of the sandwich. Crunchy out side/soft cheesey inside. For my DS's I went with american, and I always use 2 slices of cheese per sandwich, also added julienned sliced deli ham(by cutting the ham in strips I don't have to worry that they will take a bite and have a whole slice of ham slide out of the hot cheese and scald their chins-has happened too many times before). For my DH and I used 1 slice of american, julienned ham and a slice of Jarlsberg. Yummy. Served pickled green tomatoes and red tomatoes w/s&p on the side.

just excellent! Never did them in the oven before, but they came out great. I was having my mother and father over for dinner (along with my DH, DD, and DS), so standing at the stove and cooking 1-3 grilled cheeses at a time didn't sound like too much fun. I used sourdough bread with colby jack cheese. The bread was perfectly toasted. I don't think I'll go back to the old way no matter how many people I'm serving! Thank you!

This is a really great way to make grilled cheese sandwiches! I must say I enjoyed the crust on these sandwiches a lot more than other grilled cheese sandwiches. So yummy! Definitely making these again! Thanks for sharing.

A great way to cook lots of sandwiches at one time-- this way, everyone can eat at the same time.. I just have to watch to be sure I don't burn them..

What a great idea! I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but always hated to cook them in the skillet. This was way easier! For a bit of variation, I'm going to spread the insides of the bread with ranch dressing and see how that turns out. Also going to use the spreadable butter, or a denser bread next time.

Perfect! I used my pampered chef large bar stone, and I think that helped the bread crisp up a little more evenly. Honestly, I think I like this much better than whenever I've had/made sandwiches on the stove-top! Served them with a bowl of Kittencal's Thick and Rich Creamy Tomato Soup (Low-Fat Option). A perfect lunch or light dinner. Thanks!

I tried it in the oven,the trim of my bread was burning so I finished it on the stove.

I made these today for a quick lunch. These were the best grilled cheese I've ever had! They were fast and had almost no clean up. I topped mine with a fresh slice of tomato. Perfect! Thanks for sharing!

I Love these grilled cheese. Perfectly crsipy every time and much less mess. I have been using this recipe for my daycare and the kids always come back asking for seconds. Only suggestion I have is to use a "spreadable" margarine (like Country Crock). It keeps the bread from tearing and making an ugly mess. Otherwise GREAT recipe. Thanks!

I have been making grilled cheese this way for years. (I also do patty melts and reubans this way too.) It makes it so much easier than standing by the pan making single sandwiches. Thanks for posting.

Easy and delicious! My Mom makes my Dad a "cheese toast" for breakfast every morning in her toaster oven by toasting both slices of bread, then adding the cheese at the end. You have to watch it carefully, and turn both pieces of bread, take it out, put on the cheese, put it back etc. This was so much simpler, and can work for 1 to as many as you can fit on a baking sheet! I actually added ketchup and mayo and then when it was done, opened it up and added a grilled burger patty and and sauteed onions...for the best patty melt you can EVER make at home! I love that it is crispy, not greasy or soggy. I will make all of my grilled cheese this way from now on! Thanks for posting!

I was a bit under the weather yesterday, so I didn't have one, but The Husband and Kiddo said these were great, so that's good enough for me! I'm definitely using this method from now on - no more greasy/soggy and/or burnt grilled cheese! (and it's SO easy too) Thanks!

I like this just because I like to use real cheese on grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids and it's hard to get the cheese to melt without burning the bread when you're cooking them in a skillet. So this was great because they came out nicely toasted but not burnt and the cheese was melted. I'll be making them this way again I'm sure!
