    I realize that having "Advanced" and "Basics" in the same title might seem a bit contradictory, but the good ol' grilled cheese is about as basic as it gets. Using technique and flavorful ingredients, we'll try and put some fun spins on this after-school classic, hopefully without upsetting the purists!

    I worked a grilled cheese stand last fall and we did the Double Crunch method of buttering and toasting the bread, building the sandwich with the toasted parts facing in, then doing the normal butter-the-outside-and-toast thing. Basically you toast all surfaces of the bread for your grilled cheese. The resulting texture really compliments the gooiness of the cheese (our big seller was a garlic + cream cheese + cheddar + bacon bits filler in sourdough).

      As an avid casual Linux user, there's a lot I love about it, but just as much as what I hate about it.
      Unless you're using an LTS version, most Distros are buggy, unstable and poorly maintained.
      It's confusing for beginners, until you accumulate enough extensive knowledge of using the terminal command line. Most users/developers don't prefer to make a GUI for the apps, because Linux is their little "Advanced" corner in this case, so not many people care.
      Don't get me started on the app availability. It's still far from the threshold Windows set years ago.

    I like to make a grilled cheese by toasting one side on a pan with butter then dipping the other side of the bread in eggs (seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley). Then both sides go onto the pan separately and get covered in whatever cheese until melted, then squished together at the very end. Probably super sacrilegious but still mega yummy :)

    The best grilled cheese (variation) I ever had, was with haggis called "the Bruiser" in a great shop called "melt" in Aberdeen, Scotland. It was amazing although afterwards I always felt like lying down.

    I make grilled cheese with sourdough bread, shredded sharp cheddar, and lot's of butter. I actually butter and toast the "inside" of the bread slices, then flip them over add the cheese, and finish like a regular grilled cheese. Extra buttery and toasty, and EXTREMELY delicious!

      I like rye with caraway seeds. Strong flavors that stand up to cheddar.

      If the ale and cheese ain’t Welsh then it ain’t a rarebit.

      That cheese looked neither English nor cheddar. Not sure whether that makes it more or less of an affront to Welsh cuisine though

    Here's a thought experiment to the "purists;" if the only ingredients are bread, cheese, and butter, then what if you use pepper jack? Mustard butter? Do those make it no longer a grilled cheese? I mean they're fully incorporated. Then if you take it a step further and add pickled peppers and Monterey jack, I mean, it's the same number of ingredients as pepper jack. What if you home-make a cheese mixed with green onions, peppers, and bacon bits? At what point do you draw the line on what's a "grilled cheese" and what's a "melt"

    Pretty sure this Joke was made one trillion times by now, but i discovered "Binging with Babish" today and totally binging the entire channel for 6 hours by now.
    Top of the notch video quality, perfect amount of comedy in every video, very informativ and just to nail this channel completely a slighty deep voice over that is totally worth used for any documentation on every platform.
    Keep it up.
