Personally I'd lean towards grilled cheese with extra stuff in it for this sandwich. I feel like to be considered a melt it'd have to be something like a tuna melt where the cheese accompanies the tuna, and not the other way around. You think the classification is a question of volume proportions between cheese and whatever else is in it?
Yeah I'm thinking next time I'll cut the chicharon into smaller bits, but this one was still pretty good texture wise
Missed opportunity
The sourdough I used has tumeric and butterfly pea flower in the dough, so it's naturally blueish purple and yellow
Yeah something between a melt and grilled cheese. The chicharon made it extra crunchy.
It was so good. The whole was greater than the sum of its parts. I also dipped it in guacamole for some extra goodness
That looks amazing!
Oh interesting, I'm on kbin and it just adds that automatically when I reply. Thanks for the tip though
I used cross sections of a sourdough sesame baguette, hollowed out. To make sure the egg was fully cooked, I put a lid on the pan and then let them finish uncovered to get a crunchy bottom.
Nah with a melt, the other stuff is more important than the cheese. In a grilled cheese, the cheese is the star. Even in your link it says the cheese accompanies whatever else in a melt.
