Hey, what's up guys, welcome to a very special National Grilled Cheese Day
where I am making public an old Patreon-exclusive in which I recreate Chef Carl Casper's
"I love you son even though I'm not very good at showing it" grilled cheese.
We're starting with a little bit of olive oil in a cast iron pan,
then we are liberally buttering two slices of sourdough bread
Placing in the pan over medium/medium-high heat, trying to get a little bit of a toast going,
before adding gruyere, cheddar, and parmesan cheese.
This cheese blend was tweeted by the man himself at 8:04am on July 13th, 2014.
Once these guys get a little toast going and the cheese is looking a little melty,
let's bring the two halves together and, sort of inexplicably, continue spreading butter on the bread; this is what he does in the movie.
If I had to guess why, I'd say it's to add a little bit more buttery-ness.
Continue toasting and flipping as necessary until nice and brown and the cheese is totally melted.
If it needs a little help, throw a pot lid on top, pour yourself a little bit of tequila,
and in a few minutes you'll have a nice, toasty, melty grilled cheese.
Most of this stuff is pretty standard, but the cheese blend is really where it's at.
The only thing I might do differently would be to use comté or fontina cheese in place of the cheddar.
And now, what we all came here for, the cheese stretch.
A moment of silence, please.
Let's listen in to my celebration of this treasured national holiday.
"I mean...shut the f*** up."
*Distant laughter*
"Mmmm!"
Yeah, shocker, it's really tasty.
Anyway, guys, happy National Grilled Cheese Day.
I also want to take this opportunity to announce that I'm going to be a featured creator at VidCon this year
in Anaheim, California, June 20th to the 23rd.
You can get tickets at vidcon.com and I'll see you guys there!
