If "proper" grilled cheese cannot have anything between the bread other than various types of cheese does that restriction also extend to the bread itself?

Suppose I hollowed out two slices of bread, made egg in basket, and placed cheese between the slices, would it fit the definition of a "proper" grilled cheese or just be two slices of egg in basket with cheese?.

Supposed you made some type of meat infused bread, would that bread be unusable in a proper grilled cheese due the the inclusion of meat?

Who cares if it's part of the oh so exclusive grilled cheese club, so long as it's delicious? Or in other words, what's in a name? An open face egg sandwich by any other name would taste as good.

It's not so much an exclusivity or taste issue as it is keeping named foods well defined. For example, if you add ham to a grilled cheese it becomes a ham melt.

>An open face egg sandwich by any other name would taste as good.

Most foods are named based on the "star" of the dish. Adding cheese to an egg sandwich doesn't make it a grilled cheese with egg but adding an egg to a grilled cheese sandwich makes it a egg sandwich.

So the question is, at what point does a grilled cheese no longer have the properties of a grilled cheese and instead become any other type of sandwich?

Are there any ways around the definition of a grilled cheese that don't detract from the sandwich?

As in, is it possible to add ham to a grilled cheese, while keeping the "star", without overloading it with cheese, and it still fitting the definition of a grilled cheese?

That would be a croque-monsieur.

I believe you are being a wee-bit pedantic. A grilled cheese sandwich made with egg-in-the-basket could simply be called a grilled cheese and egg sandwich. Although there are several foods where you can add an egg and not change the title re: ramen, burgers, mac and cheese. Just call it a "grilled cheese and oh yeah I made egg in the basket, just eat it it's delicious".

With two pieces of bread it would be croque-madame, with one piece of bread it would be an egg-in-the basket
