I loved grilled cheese sandwiches as a kid. Then as I got older, I fell out of love with them–or so I thought for a while, until I realized what had happened was that as I got older, my palate changed, and so did my taste in cheese. Everybody likes cheese, but my grandfather and I were the cheese nuts. When I was a kid, he and I used to argue about cheese. I was a kid, so I liked mild, and he was an adult, so he liked sharp.
He was right, of course. Cheese can’t be too sharp. I rediscovered grilled cheese sandwiches when I first made one with a good, aged, sharp cheddar.
That’s what I had for lunch. I have a big hunk of aged, sharp, buttery, raw milk Vermont cheddar. I cut a few slices, put it between two slices of bread, and grilled it in butter. It was amazingly good.
Grilled cheese for adults.

In my opinion, you can make it even better by putting two slices of tomato inside.
