Q&A for How to Make a Cheese Sandwich

Many varieties of cheese are great for sandwiches, including Cheddar, Havarti, Swiss, cheese spread, etc. Try different sorts of cheese to find out the varieties that you enjoy most; don't forget to try different kinds of bread as well because each varied pairing can make a difference.

Grated cheese is not normally used for sandwiches; it's meant to be sprinkled on top of things like pasta or salad. If you do want to use it in your sandwich, just sprinkle it on top of the other ingredients in your sandwich.

Pile about a third cup of grated cheese in the center of the bread. Then heat the sandwich on low until the cheese melts. Then flip and cook the sandwich, as directed.

You don't have to use anything you don't want to. This is just one way to make a cheese sandwich. Butter helps make the bread a little moist and keep it from sticking to the roof of your mouth; some people also like the taste. If you don't like it, don't use it.

No, you can put whatever you prefer in the sandwich -- or just enjoy the taste of cheese and butter.

Every kind of cheese is an option for a sandwich. If cheddar is the only one you like, go ahead and use that. But literally any kind of cheese can be used on a sandwich except maybe hard or grated cheeses.

White bread tastes best with cheese, but if you don't have that, whole wheat works well too.

You could skip the bread, but I'm not sure how good the "sandwich" would taste.

Yes, you can use grated cheese in a sandwich. It will have a softer texture and spread in a different way from sliced cheese but it's still just as suitable for a sandwich. It is also fine to place toppings over the grated cheese to add flavor and finish the sandwich.

Even if it is weird, you should eat whatever you want to eat regardless of what other people think.

Lemonade, Coke/soda, juice, water, milk, coffee, etc. Pretty much anything goes well with a cheese sandwich!

Yes, you can put whatever you would like on your sandwich.

This depends on the cheese. Cheddar goes great with ham, mozzarella goes well with roast beef. Turkey and Parmesan make an interesting combo. A smoky-flavored meat needs a calm-flavored cheese; a nippy, sharp cheese goes good will mellow, savory meats. Experiment!

Anything! You can use vegetables like carrot, cucumber, onion, etc. Use your imagination!

Vegan alternatives to cheese to exist. Larger supermarkets and specialist vegan food stores should supply these products. Many vegans enjoy vegetable-, nut- or bean-based meals and dislike fake meat/dairy products.

You don't have to add anything with a cheese sandwich if you don't want to. Leave the mustard out and just use other ingredients you want, like butter, sandwich spread and salad vegetables.

You can add macaroni cheese to a sandwich consisting of two slices of bread. Just macaroni on its own would be too bland, while it needs a cheese sauce to be blended with it before adding to make it a true macaroni cheese sandwich.
