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

I wanted to make this and thankfully my bf saw me watching it. We made it your way then we made it the chef way. The chef way is much better. We cooked it in cast iron and used another cast iron to squish it. Cutting it made the cheese melty. We didn't have a dome type thing so I just added 1 tsp of water around the sandwich and covered it and left a 1 inch opening. It didn't make it soggy, but melty and the bread was softer. We added speck (presciutto) and it made it a savory and and added smokey flavor. I used salted butter but which was ok but I would use unsalted next time. It tasted even better the next day Thanks for this

I think he squirts water for temperature control. This method of temperature control is used even in Dosa making from Indian cuisine. Basically, when its large scale cooking, it's very difficult to control the temperature and they have to employ such ingenious methods to control it. Thats why, cooks who prepare Biryani for marriages etc. are looked up in high regard.

So it's basically a croque-monsieur, a grilled and pressed french sandwich with ham and cheese inside. The difference is the bread, it uses a pain de mie ( don't know how to traduct it. It's great to see similarities between recipes out of accidents. Though I'm curious about the water used on the sandwich at the begining.

Just buy a panini machine, it's like 40 bucks. Also can you put a loaf of bread in the freezer and when you're hungry you can just take a frozen slice and put it in the machine. So the rest of the bread can stay fresh in the freezer. Awesome with salami The perfect late night snack done in minutes and no clean up.

Hi Adam, I really love the videos (been on a binge watch. I was wondering why you tend to cook charcuterie in your recipes -- is there really that much of a difference between charcuterie and hams after you cook them? I usually save charcuterie to be eaten warm or cold to preserve the raw flavor.

Yeah it's a GG. I'm going to make this and put the Bolognese sauce on it. Finally I will experiment on how to optimize their combination. With this I will use my natural charisma to win someone's heart and trust.

I typically eat grilled cheese with meat and jam. Prosciutto for the meat, brie, gruyere, and swiss for the cheese, and plum jam. If you havent tried it, I would try jam on grilled cheese atleast once.
reply

Pro-tip: toast the inside of your grilled cheese bread, then turn it over and lay in your cheese with both sides still in the pan. Your cheese will melt faster and youll get more toasty flavors

Just made my own at home and it's delicious, thanks so much for the vid. I personally did not have a brick so I just wrapped the bottom of another pan in foil and then pushed that down on top haha
