What type of cheese do you most like to use to make a grilled cheese sandwich? Mine is pepper jack. I like spicy cheeses in my grilled cheese sandwiches. How about you?

My favorite cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches is Farmer's Cheese. But since I don't find it very often or when I do it is a really small amount or too expensive, I generally use colby cheese. I don't like using the American cheese slices or velveeta. I don't like velveeta unless it is used in some kind of mix. And I don't really consider the American slices as real cheese because it is processed cheese food and not the real thing. I like thick grilled cheese sandwiches so I cut the slices thick when I make my sandwiches. I have never thought about using the spicy cheeses. I wonder how smoked gouda would taste in a sandwich? Another one that is too expensive, but I love it.

This is the first I have ever heard of Farmer's Cheese. What exactly is that like, and how does it taste? Smoked gouda in a sandwich. I honestly couldn't tell you about that one. I agree with you about American cheese slices and Velveeta. I like neither one, really.

Farmer's cheese is a white cheese and is very good melted. The first time I ever had it I was staying with a friend who lived on a farm and it was delivered regularly to her house. Then I was able to occassionally find it in the grocery stores. What they got at the farm was a big piece of a log I think. But what I have found at the stores are only small portions and they cost too much for me to get unless for a special treat. I saw an episode of Martha Stewart where she made something that was supposed to be equivalent to farmer's cheese, but I didn't get the recipe.

It all depends on what cheese I have in the house. I have made them with American cheese, Velveeta, Monterey Jack cheese, Provalone cheese, and mozzarella cheese before. My son prefers white cheese on his grilled cheese.

Good Ol' American cheese is the only way to go. I think i've made it with pepperjack before, but too spicy.. Yum Yum to plain ol' american sliced yum yum cheese. Lol, I never actually thought about others using anything different.
