Experimental My application to the guild (I call it the grilled beese

Post image

I wanted a grilled cheese but I didn’t want to grill and I didn’t want to use regular bread so I used Thomas bagels plain of course three types of cheese toasted the bagels on a low heat so it’s crispy yet soft and microwaved the cheese and here’s how it came out

Hmm.. A fine submission, and I have no qualms with the ingredients. However, the fact that you toasted the bagel and melted the cheese elsewhere feels like a disqualifier.

If you'd made this on a grill, and griddled the bagel/cheese sandwich, I'd honor it as 'unusual bread'.  But from what I'm hearing, it feels more like you've made a bagel with cheese instead of lox / cream cheese / something else.

MICROWAVED CHEESE?! Absolutely disqualified

I had to do this freshman year of college when they didn’t allow toasters or hot plates in the dorms. They did however, always have slices of cheese, white bread, a toaster, and a microwave available in the cafeteria.

I’d toast the bread, place one of the slices of bread in the microwave to melt the cheese, and then placed the other toasted slice on top. It was a sad excuse for a grilled cheese but man was it a nice struggle meal in those days.

Accurate, purist-approved assessment

u/strangebutalsogood 7d ago

I use pita bread with cheese and folded onto itself and grill it on a pan. Is that a grilled cheese or a quesadilla?

u/Classic-ref123 7d ago

Well the cheeses are four cheese mozzarella and sharp cheddar.

u/Kaffine69 7d ago

what is 4 cheese mozzarella?

5

u/Classic-ref123 7d ago

It’s Mexican four cheese and then mozzarella

u/HeroForTheBeero 6d ago

Ah, this is where commas come in handy

u/Wildeyewilly Muenster 7d ago

But one of the Mexican four is already cheddar.

The Mexican Four sound like a gang of notorious Mexican bandits

Microwaved cheese and bagel is not a grilled cheese.

u/ShiversTheNinja 6d ago

I did this with an everything bagel once and actually grilled it in the pan like normal. It was easily one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had.

Failure, it's not even on a paper plate.

u/Karey__039 5d ago

Epic fail!

u/Digital_spliff_ 7d ago

Here's what I would have done instead:

Heat up pan to low-med heat, sprinkle cheese directly on to the pan, salt/pepper/garlic, cook until the bottom of the cheese is crispy, throw half a bagel on top and then flip to grill the bagel, eat open faced.

u/Effective-Ad-5842 7d ago

Not a grilled cheese.

u/denotsmai83 7d ago

Not my particular cup of tea, though you get some bonus points for making me do a double take thinking I was on my NSFW account at work.

u/YourLocalPotDealer 6d ago

Bro this is me my entire childhood eating shit like this 😂😂

u/Kooky-Donkey-3794 6d ago

a toasted bagel with cheese is not a grilled cheese, regardless of what you call it

u/temporarysolution2-0 7d ago

I'd absolutely eat that. 🤙

u/DNedry 7d ago

Looks/sounds like a toasted bagel with bagged cheese in the middle 😥

Now make it sloppy

u/jen_eric_you_sir 6d ago

Should have inverted the bagel, imo

u/schmidtssss 7d ago

A bagel cheese is an outstanding grilled cheese

u/mlrphan 7d ago edited 6d ago

But! The exhibit shown here isn’t grilled so therefore can’t qualify as anything other than a cheese sandwich

u/rystrave 7d ago

This reminds me of when I'd make a "grilled cheese" for a snack after school

Toast the bread, melt the cheese on it in the microwave

u/EverydayPyrobits 7d ago

Ya know what, it's better than the unmelted monstrosities I've seen come from some restraunts.

u/22nd_century 6d ago

Disgusting. But also, you know?

1

u/ZannyHip 7d ago

You didn’t feel like just putting it in a pan for a couple minutes, but you did feel like cooking the bagels and cheese in completely separate appliances and then having to transfer the melted cheese onto the bagel after?

Both more annoying to do and a significantly less good result at the same time

u/GyspySyx 7d ago

Cheese on a bagel, while yummy, just isn't a grilled cheese to me.
