Grilled Olive Cheese Sandwich (1964) on Sandwiches of History 

Somewhere in a recipe book, there must be a sandwich that you butter on the outside, and eat.

0:24 That pump fake actually got me.😂 I was like, "nooooo!!!".

Recipe suggestion, one that i usally make for breakfast/snack when camping at music festivals. Shrimp cheese spread with potato chips. Now, the shrimp cheese spread is something you probably cant get in the US. Its really popular in Sweden and comes in loads of flavors. Shrimp, smoked ham, bacon, crayfish, chorizo, reindeer, salami. Thankfully its really simple do make it yourself. Just melt edam cheese or similar mild hard cheese with water so when cold it has a soft spreadable consistancy. Season with salt, some onion powder and pinch of cayenne. Then add whatever protein you want, finely chopped. As you probably noticed there is a big variety. Looking at the ingredients list for the store bought stuff its about 10%. So not a whole lot. For potato chips i like something spicy. But whatever you enjoy. Go pretty heavy with the cheese spread, its a mild flavor.

Ahhhh... This brings back memories of Mrs. Rennebaum who used to look after me and my twin brother back when our mother was raising 3 kids and going through a divorce. Every time we visited the Rennebaums (while my sister was at school), I wasn't allowed to ask about their adult daughter who lived on the ground floor of the house even though she looked exactly like Sally Struthers, or her boyfriend. When we went upstairs, Mrs. Rennebaum would at some point give my brother and me plain white bread sandwiches with American cheese slices in. What a treat! We didn't even have to ask for them or tell Mrs. Rennebaum that we were hungry. As far as we were concerned, this was free food. No olives, and I thank her for that but a wonderful 1970s memory reawakened. We can have olives later, Mrs. Rennebaum.

Yes, dill pickle plus up!

I like how you add one thing to improve it so it gets a good shot

I love that the salt wasn’t a problem, so you put a salty pickle on there 😹

The gods reached down from Olympus and provided us with bread fried in butter, but Barry, with the hubris known only to man, has to plus it up.

Thank you

Pimento grilled cheese sando, classic recipe

Look at Barry, grillin dat cheeseeeee!

Aldi has some smoked tomato hummus, which I picked up for grilled cheese and burgers this weekend. The dill pickle pop would be a nice addition

it's some important to make the distinction that plastic wrapped slices and American Cheese are two totally separate and unrelated things

Change the cheese to sharp cheddar and I'm in for both versions 🧀😊.

This is a sandwich I would enjoy. Yes, I use a good American cheese combined with gruyere or gouda when I make grilled cheese sandwiches. The American cheese melts nicely, while the other cheeses have a more pronounced flavor. It works for me. But I think I’ll make this next time I want a grilled cheese, thanks so much for the recipe. I am not sure about the plus up dill pickle, because I would not want to mask the olive taste and brininess. But I trust Barry’s opinion, so I’ll give it a go as well.

He's looking good this episode

Hot Ham Buns (8 sandwiches) 2 C Diced Ham 8 oz. Mild Cheddar Cheese, Shredded ½ C Sliced Pimento Stuffed Green Olives 3 Green Onion, Chopped ½ C Mayo 1/3 C Tomato Paste Hamburger Buns for serving 1. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix toughly 2. Spread the Ham mixture on the hamburger buns and wrap in aluminum foil. Refrigerate until ready to heat 3. Bake at 300 degrees in the foil for 25

Mmm, reminds me of olive quesadillas which is an underrated thing to make

Grilled olives...I can just see Barry grilling them olives to perfection!(Chefs kiss).VIOLA!

Looks good! Makes me wonder if there is a grilled pimento cheese (with olives?) sandwich. I feel like the crisped bread would go well with the soft, gooey cheese. Then the brine of something like olives/capers/pickle. Yum!

I won't lie that does sound good.

Now THIS one is my jam, for sure! Dill pickle plus-up makes perfect sense as well!

This is the moment Barry became Mike.

Nice Man

nice!

Anything with olives is in my wheelhouse. Could try Castelvitano olives instead of ripe.

I'm early for once . I'm always here for the grilled cheese treatment

Oh, wow, this looks fantastic!

Fried mortadella or fried bologna as a plus up.

Funny not sure I would try this recipe but I have been planning to add olives to my next grilled cheese after a friend suggested it I'm just waiting on my new sandwich maker I been looking and thinking of new ideas to try out when I get it when I worked swing shift I would get home at 12am and a quick grilled cheese was a good midnight snack

Deconstructed Pimento Cheese and Olive Loaf Sarnie, minus the Loaf.

I would have gone fresh tomato

That sounds fantastic, I will have to try that, but with some nice Cheddar. I would plus that up with some chopped fire roasted chilies, like the Ortega brand type.

Nothing melts like American. I've never bought a big brick to shred, though, I'm curious if blending it with some sharp cheddar would give you a cheese mix that melts AND tastes well.

Noooo!! Sliced green olives cream cheese and a little juice mixed well put it on toast or a toasted bagel! I think olives and cream cheese is from the 20's? Also great as a really think dip for sturdy chips cauliflower mmm. It's my comfort food

Toronto

😮 i keep waiting to see the traditional pimento cheese sandwich pop up...but it never does

Nobody guessed dill pickle.

The original is an umami flavour bomb! No plus-up needed for me.

mmm pickle

You know would make this sandwich even better? No olives

For the algorithm

I thought it'd be super salty.. huh

Just a heads up. One of those telegram scams is going around in the comments pretending to be you.

“And no the olives are not grilled” It’s not even olive cheese either!

Castleveltrano olives. It won't need an upgrade.

Dilled cheese

USE MAYO NOT BUTTER ON GRILLED CHESE TRUST ME...
