Mustard? Ketchup? Naked? Something else?

Mustard and Katchup sound gross. Ive sometimes added a fried egg to mine, and my dad sometimes adds fried ham on his grilled cheese.
The real question in my house growing up was do you like to use Mayo, Miracle Whip, or Butter on the bread before you fry it?

Growling up on the farm it was Butter, have used butter for over 90 + years.

If you don't have that, you do not have the foundation of a grilled cheese sandwich. Anything else is too fancy.

Fried egg?
We want grilled cheese, not an Egg-Mcmuffin.

Ketchup? Mustard?
That goes on a hot dog.

Solar makes one of the best cheese sandwiches.  He fries the cheese and we only use Tillamook Sharp cheddar.

But I like ham on mine.

Always butter on the outside, except for that brief margarine flirtation about fifty years ago.
I've tried both mustard or ketchup on the inside before grilling. That can be delicious. I do
favor cheddar cheese, the sharper the better, but I've grilled many varieties to my satisfaction.

This discussion is making me hungry.

Exuberant, if not expert, analysis.

I will be looking for Tillamook. Since we are sort of close to Cabot,
that is often our cheese of choice. Bonus being, the local grocery
chain's store brand supplier then supplies that grocery chain with
the closest thing to Cabot, while all the other, smaller fromagers
continue to produce cheddars to die for. So please, don't eat too much!

A properly made grilled ham and cheese is the bomb.

True story:
I came across a situation where this idiot didn't understand the concept of a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich. You can get a ham and cheese sandwich, as well as a turkey and cheese sandwich. You can get a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, but he couldn't grasp the idea of a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich. I had to get the turkey and cheese sandwich, and told the other person to slap it on the grill.

For that matter, a grilled bologna and cheese sandwich is a NUKE-ULAR bomb, but it ain't a grilled cheese sammich, now is it? A true grilled cheese sammich goes like this...

The bread must be white, though not necessarily Wonder brand.

The cheese must be American, meaning it isn't really cheese at all, but a weird yellow concoction of stuff based on vegetable oils.

The spread should be butter, though margarine is OK for those born after 1950.

Mayo, ketchup, mustard, ham, bacon, etc. are not part of the recipe and are therefore abominations.

Such good memories.   Mom would make one cut/slice from the middle to the edge so it would lay flat to fry.  I personally loved when it made that huge bubble.

My Dad took bologna and cheese sandwiches to work most days, he was a brick mason, and occasionally one of the 3 sandwiches would make its way back home.  Often I would ask for it.  It was white bread, bologna, Colby cheese, butter, and fresh ground pepper.

But you can dip it in ketchup or mayo on the side

Quotea·bom·i·na·tion
/əˌbäməˈnāSH(ə)n/
noun
A thing that causes disgust or hatred.
Examples could include "concrete abominations masquerading as hotels" or "squirted abominations applied to a grilled cheese or fried bologna sandwich that masquerade as acceptable condiments."

I guess you could dip your grilled cheese sammich in Pine-Sol^TM or used motor oil "on the side" and claim it's a condiment.
