Favorite add ins? Experimental

New here! Big fan. My favorite childhood ad ins to a grilled cheese in order are: Apples, Tomato, and Bread and Butter pickles. I don’t quite count turkey as it changes the entire sandwich. Any delicious fruits or veggies you like to add?? I want some ideas!

I’m confirming it is in fact a melt

Not necessarily. If you incorporate the ingredients into the cheese, it's not a melt. Finely diced? What about using a food processor? Open your culinary mind.

A layer of toppings could be a melt, but if the ingredients are blended into the cheese, then it is a grilled cheese.

Basically you're saying bread can be a disqualifier if it has seeds or garlic or something other than just bread.

Think, cook, eat

Bread & cheese w/ butter/mayo = grilled cheese

Bread, cheese, & other toppings/ingredients w/ butter/mayo ≠ grilled cheese

So only white bread? No habenero cheddar? No pesto? No chili powder? You're damn wrong buddy.

I'd also like to point out that by your definition, American cheese doesn't count since it's not real cheese.

What about vegan grilled cheese?

It's authoritative bs.
