Molly Levels Up Her Grilled Cheese Game
This video is sponsored by SHUN! Link below, y'all!!!!
Today, Molly teaches us how to level up the classic grilled cheese. There are a few ways in which she does this. The first is the MF double crunch! She shows us how to optimally crisp the bread for maximum crunchiness. Next, she makes a Gilda tapenade with pepperoncini, cornichons, olives, and anchovies (because why the heck not???). Finally, she tops the glorious sando with a Gilda skewer, adding even more brininess and perfection to this grilled cheese. This recipe is easy, impressive, and most importantly delicious. Not to be missed!

btw gilda is pronounced "hilda" sounds like a H😊
I JUST saw your cereal cover and said "ah hah, no wonder I haven't seen her on youtube.." - but suddenly here you are! I hope your home is full of happy cries and giggles now!
i love seeing basque things pop up in your videos every once in a while! i'm basque and it always makes me smile whenever you reference our cousine :)
Made this for lunch-absolutely incredible!
This gave me some great tips for grilled cheese. Thanks!
Come on! What an absolutely great recipe... and of course video! Thanks for it👍
im salivating over every part of this
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant Molly!!
A Gilda is absolutely a pintxo, not a tapa!
Thank you, Molly 👍
Double crunch. Brilliant....just brilliant.
Made this tonight. It was delicious and a great pairing with an eventide ;) Thanks for this awesome recipe!
I watched Kenji brown both sides and I will never go back to soft insides. Yum ... congrats on the birth of your son.

I started making Reuben sandwiches with the double crunch years ago. Makes a huge difference.
Thanks for another fantastic recipe. I made one minor change when I made it. On the inside (first) browning of the bread, I added some parmesan cheese in the last couple minutes of browning. It added another layer of cheese and crunch. Love your channel!
Looks amazing!
I just made a tasty grilled cheeze last night. It was standard ok. this my dear, is epic. I really enjoyed this and the subtle techs to bring this dish to outstanding.
Tried this last week and it was 💣🤤!! It’s everything she says it is - fatty, tangy, briney - perfectly balanced! Became my gateway sandwich as I wasn’t too crazy about them before. Now I have all sorts of breads, cheeses, and condiments let’s go!!!🥪🥪🥪
Congratulations on the baby
Props to the camera person for lovely food shots throughout , making me drool even more !!
Double crunch is an excellent sandwich technique (been doing this for a while) - it's def for when you've got more time, but it's an amazing, simple hot-sandwich upgrade to have in your arsenal. Really improves the experience.
Here me out: Addition of freshly shaved prosciutto, and instead of binding the Gilda tapenade with just EVO since you’re frying in EVO and it can easily get saturated, and the mixture will be loose- A touch of mustard for the tang and to bind it all together!
Love your vids 💞
Good recipe
I’m in 2 mins and I just knew there would be a pickle element to this dish😊.
Molly, this looks fantastic. Can't wait to try it and i love the idea of crisping the bread first. You are genius.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE SANDO UNIVERSE PODCAST! IT IS EVERYTHING!
I still do the grilled cheese with the scallion jalapeño thingy you teach us on a insta live ages ago. 🥰
Eff yeah! I think you nailed it, but, I'll have to make it.....Probably money$$$
I just made this, it's incredibly delicious. One clove of garlic was enough for me though.
5:00 Uncensored Molly has returned! 🎉🎉🎉

I NEED IT
Looks delicious. Gordo should take notes😏
As a Gilda I really like this
Molly this is what I'm eating next time I get the munchies.
Love me some Molllllyyyyyyy Bazzzzzzzzz!
This looks amazing! Unfortunately a lot of people will get grossed out by the anchovy (sad). Well done
There is nothing -- NOTHING -- that compares with pan-fried bread. Used to be a restaurant in LA whose bread for the table was always pan-fried as a matter of course. Just a memory now, that place.
Well, it has got to be better than Gordon Ramsay's at the very least.

and that was awful
I could see a version of this with a roasted hatch chili and garlic tapenade. With pickled jalapenos and Spanish olives speared on the top. A version with brie and goat cheese and preserved fruit 'tapenade' in the middle? The point is the double sided grill and the two kinds of cheese and the flavor/texture bomb in the middle? Excellent recipe. I promise to perfect the original first.
I'm curious - because we're using the double crunch technique, do we still need to worry about grated cheese melting into the bread? I like grated cheese for coverage (and my knife skills are kinda bad), but I don't want any sog in my sando
She's so gorgeous, the grilled cheese..
I think the addition of a meat would make it a melt - she’s safe lol ❤
Let this be your dissertation

Molly, you need a "kaasschaaf"

i saw a live that Gabby did and people were talking about eating Tuna in the comments.

That looks amazing and delicious, but it's not a grilled cheese anymore.

thaaaats what i was gonna say
great melt!! not a grilled cheese tho tbh, grilled cheese = bread + cheese + butter
Are you a fan of the open-face, broil, then put together method?
Melt.

Exactly. Still yummy though. Grilled cheese is just bread, cheese and your favorite fat to toast. I'm a butter kinda guy.
Looks greatt mollyy! But actually the gilda is a Basque PINTXO not a tapa :)) (also ppl from the basque region generally dont agree with being called spanish) (im not basque i just think it's kinda cool)
I hope this was pre-recorded and Molly and Gio are resting
We NEED to normalize 'Yum Alert!'
she forgot to add a extra drizzle of olive in the before eating it
My teeth have left the chat
I'm hungover and haven't eaten anything all day. May I please have the other half. My mouth is watering!! That looks so damn good!! I'd definitely fuck with it!!
so a Muffuletta that is grilled?

with no meat. a vegan grilled Muffuletta .
Best grilled cheese is velveta on sourdough butter grilled with pickles and mayo on the side.
So... I'm 56 years old, have cooked all my life, love cheese, have browzed the fancy cheese section at the supermarket, and watched cooking shows all my life. Never heard the word "manchego" before today. Is this one of those things you can only find in a metropolitan area of over 10 million people?

No. It's fairly ubiquitous as far as Spanish cheese is concerned. It's even mentioned in Don Quixote.

@@potatocake113 I went to a high end grocery store in Kansas City and never saw it. Why have I never heard hat name uttered before on a cooking show? I've been watching them for 40 years.
But is it a grilled cheese? Or a panini?
Girl, congrats on the baby. But can we please cut the sando on a bias? This straight cut is maddening.
If your grilled cheese takes more than 5 minutes you may be doing too much 🤷🏾
What's with the cooking apron?
A cup of olives in a sandwich, ugh no.
Manifesto? What are you, the Unamomer?
Seems very salty. And I question the use of manchego, which I think would just turn into a puddle of oil.
worried that you took ozempic!

She literally just has a baby. What are you talking about?
As soon as you put anything but cheese inside it’s a melt not a grilled cheese.
worst bread for grilled cheese. too crusty. at least the cheese has melted.
Wow, this is disgusting.
Make more videos lol 😂 Don't cuss, even tho it was funny 😅😂
At least she used real cheese. A lot of youtube chefs have been doing grilled cheese and as soon as they pull out the American cheese or cheese food, I unsubscribe because qui se couche avec les chiens se réveille avec des puces and I do not want to be associated with persons of that ilk.
Top sandwich idea! Absolutely love it! ps: [h]ilda is more like a pintxo rather than a tapa
