How to Make an "Artisan" Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Why settle for a pedestrian Grilled Cheese Sandwich, when you can create an "Artisan" Grilled Cheese instead? Remember: "Artisan" = "Better"!
The Bread
Here, I "partner" with my local Boulanger to discuss the virtues of heritage yeast strains. He really 'gets' my well-informed suggestions!"
Procure a fresh loaf of Multi-Grain bread from your favorite bakeshop, as long as it is located within a 20-mile radius. You could substitute bread purchased from a grocery store; just don’t try to feed it to me or my children.

Slicing
“Perfectly imperfect!”
Slice the bread by hand to the desired thickness, as long as you desire the thickness to be between 70-120 millimeters. Discard any slices that appear to be uniform.

Judge the Cheese
"I have selected this washed-rind sheep’s milk cheese; it presented me with an admirable level of indignation.
Judge the cheese. Judgementalism is an extremely important facet of being “Artisan”. Cheeses should be judged on demeanor, self-righteousness, and fortitude.

Select the Pan
“This pan has the Brooklyn-chic aesthetic that I am going for here.”
An “Artisan” grilled cheese requires a pan that matches the temperament of the sandwich.

Assemble the Sandwich
"Zestilicious!"

Preparation
“Take great care here. Remember: You can’t spell 'artisanal' without 'anal'.”
“Pan-Crisp” the sandwich in Amish Butter until the cheese is melted and the exterior is golden brown. It is critical that the two sides do not match!

Service!
“I am serving my “Artisan” grilled cheese on a “Re-claimed” paper towel roll that is being “Re-purposed” as a plate. Remember: Simply Re-cycling is for the lazy and uncreative!”
