Article: The big cheese: Grilled classic comfort food oozes with lots of variations

The grilled-cheese sandwich is simple comfort food -- golden, toasted bread oozing with rich, velvety cheese inside. Add a simple salad or bowl of soup (tomato seems to be the standard choice) for a satisfying meal.

In this case, the term "grilled" doesn't mean the sandwich is cooked outdoors. Instead, they're usually smeared with a little butter or oil and sauteed in a skillet or on a griddle. Some folks use panini presses, a waffle iron or even a George Foreman-type grill to accomplish the cooking.

Although it's been around long enough to be considered a "classic," the grilled-cheese sandwich seems to attract new fans
