"I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip." -John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces
I like using olive oil for my grilled cheese sandwiches. It makes the sandwiches easier to cook. Butter browns and burns at a much lower heat than olive oil, so the oil is more forgiving. Don't use your best extra virgin oil as it will burn.
There are a lot of great variations on a grilled cheese sandwich, and you can use lots of different flavors, like curry or chili powder, to complement the umami of whatever cheese you choose to use.

This recipe can easily be multiplied but does not make very good leftovers.
Place the cheese, pimentos, green onion and sour cream in a bowl and fold together until blended.
Place the cheese mixture between the slices of bread and pat down gently until firm.
Place a griddle over high heat.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil to the hot griddle and spread with a spatula.
Place the sandwich on the griddle. Adjust the heat so that the sandwich browns but does not burn.
After about 6 minutes, add the other 1/2 teaspoon to the griddle.
Turn the sandwich over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.
Serve immediately.
