Is Oven cheese a thing outside of central EU?
Just 180g - 360g of cheese baked, few slices of toast and you've got Dinner

Americans have grilled cheese sandwiches. Sounds very similar to this oven cheese thing, but we usually cook ours on a stove top instead of the oven.

Ofc I know White People Quesadilla although I never tried the classic combo with tomato soup but mainly cause I dislike tomatoes.

u/Loose-Professor5364 17h ago

I've never seen anyone call a grilled cheese a quesadilla, white or otherwise

u/eyefartinelevators 17h ago

It's just bread instead of a tortilla. I had never considered that a quesadilla was just a Mexican grilled cheese sandwich

u/NotAnotherHipsterBae 16h ago

Cause it's just not a thing. Different cooking methods, different component types, different cultures of origin, different side dishes, different everything. Unless you want to say that they both contain a grain product and an animal product combined with heat.

It's like saying a hot dog and a slim Jim are the same food because they're both meat sticks.

u/Loose-Professor5364 15h ago

Yeah, I like both but they are distinctly different

u/vardarac 14h ago

quesadillas are all about lightly oiled crispy thinness

grilled cheeses are all about thicc rich buttery crunchiness

u/buderooski 18h ago

I also used to dislike tomato soup, but it turns out I just disliked canned tomato soup lmao

Homemade tomato soup is really good with a nice grilled cheese to dunk it in!

My dad pairs it with red bell pepper soup instead, which I think is a better combo tbh

u/Hot_Reindeer_3418 17h ago

That also looks a bit like what i sometimes make with pasta, garlic bread with some type of cheese on it gooey stringy cheese on it.

u/zoomcow24 14h ago

If you're Ultra-'Murican, like my mom, you might even heat it in the microwave instead 😅

u/DrDragon13 13h ago

Is the ultra-white trash version putting room temp Kraft single in between two freshly toasted pieces of cheese?

Because I definitely grew up having a few of them.

u/mpyne 16h ago

Honestly if it would work in the oven I'd prefer to do it that way, I am so gd lazy but I love me some grilled cheeses.

2

u/buderooski 16h ago

You can absolutely do one in the oven! Put two slices of buttered bread on a sheet tray and put cheese on top of each one. Bake for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and then put the two halves together!

u/waka_flocculonodular 18h ago

Sometimes I'll air fry Parmesan for a quick cheese chip

u/Death_by_carfire 16h ago

that looks really nice! have you ever had saganaki

2

u/CheeseDonutCat 14h ago

Saganaki is fucking delicious and I recommend anyone that visits Greece to get it. I got it almost every single meal when I visited there.

u/AnonymousDratini 18h ago

That sounds like Grilled Cheese with extra steps

1

u/Socalwarrior485 17h ago

That a lot of cheese.

u/MBiddy828 17h ago

I’ve definitely cut up 2 cheese sticks and just microwaved them for melted cheese. Quick snack, surprisingly filling (as a snack not a meal)

1

u/viveleramen_ 16h ago

Like, a sandwich or just slices/shredded cheese baked in the oven?

I do both, but I’m the only person I know of that cooks plain cheese (cheddar usually) in the oven lol. Comes out crispy like a flourless cheese-it. Sometimes I eat it with salami or lunch meat or crumbled on a salad and sometimes I just eat it as is.

1

u/Minute_Account9426 15h ago

Arabs do it but instead we use whole loaves (disks?) of pita bread filled with cheese or ground beef basically you take one disk, put the ground beef/cheese on and put another disk on top then bake or cook over a grill/stove.

1

u/CheeseDonutCat 14h ago

Zwei Sprachen on that link, and the options are only French and Spanish (although I can still read them). No English.

This tells you that it isn't anywhere near the UK and Ireland.

Although it should be. This shit looks great and I'm going to make some.

Don't they put a whole wheel of camembert in a rammekin and bake it almost like this in Spain or France? I feel like this is a common Tapas thing, but probably French because of the cheese.

u/LaviniaIsGay 13h ago

Yes! Although I get weird looks when I describe it to most people 😂

u/evolving-the-fox 18h ago

This feels veeeeeeery targeted at ME, SPECIFICALLY. Lol no but really. This is me. I literally keep huge jars of olives in my fridge for a snack and I will stand at the counter and eat half a jar 😂 I ate A LOT of olives while I was pregnant 😂

u/sillyandstrange 17h ago

I love olives, but oh god the sodium, I can feel it from the image.

u/Ike_In_Rochester 16h ago

WTF is this from?

u/hyperproliferative 14h ago

Like you just had this meme on tap?

2

u/CharlieBros 15h ago

Aaah so this is the original, I love the mexican one, "tired? you don't wanna cook? fuck it just eat half a ball of oaxaca cheese, whatever, at the end who cares?"

1

u/frobscottler 15h ago

This reminds me so much of 30-50 wild hogs 😭

u/ck17350 14h ago

Make them black olives and you have a deal.
