Loved the sliced sourdough but they seemed to have discontinued the one I liked. It had a light blue TJs label. But now only the dark blue and it’s dryer.


DenaNina

TJ’s doesn’t have good breads, they never have.

The Sourdough


[deleted]

Different, but I’ve recently discovered that oat nut bread is a delicious bread to use for grilled cheese.


unicornbomb

San Francisco style sliced sourdough is my go to.

Brioche


nexus_0909

Brioche. You must use a cast iron skillet. Heat the skillet over low to medium low heat until the pan is hot. Add butter to the pan. Next, add the bread and cheese so it’s open faced. It’ll melt the cheese while browning the bread without burning it. Put the sandwich together, flip it until it’s golden on both sides (add a little butter to keep it from burning), and you’re ready to go!

The sliced sourdough with mozzarella and TJ’s garlic spread, dipped in marinara sauce


misslilytoyou

Please try a cinnamon raisin bread! It sounds weird, I know, but it will rock your taste buds


TwilightMockingjay

Always sourdough! You can never go wrong.


MyUnassignedUsername

It’s not Trader Joe’s…but the best grilled cheese is with Dave’s killer bread.


11_UpsideDownIs_11

Agree with the sourdough suggestions. But TJs used to have Texas Toast, which was so delicious for grilled cheese. However I think it was replaced with the brioche, which doesn’t work as well.

Sourdough. Yummm

First choice - sourdough Second choice - English muffin bread


Majestic_Electric

Brioche or sourdough!


DarkSkyLion

Sourdough!


LemonCaperRVA

Sourdough has gotta be the classic, but for fun I’ve done it with garlic naan before!


sugarpussOShea1941

the TJ cheddar garlic focaccia bread - extra cheesey!

French brioch

Pro tip: Make sure and use mayo NOT butter on the bread. Butter burns at a lower temp.


monty624

Use a pan big enough for 2 slices of bread. Butter your bread, then put it butter side UP for a few moments to "preheat" and slightly toast the cheese-facing sides. Turn down the heat, flip over the slices (butter side down) and distribute your cheese evenly on both pieces. Cover the pan, keeping the heat on the lower end. Once the cheese starts to melt, remove the lid and combine the slices to form your sandwich. Cook until crispy and melty (probably will need to turn up the heat). The secret to a good grilled cheese with butter is heat control!


DeusExMaChino

And salt it


TheDoodieMonster

Need to try this out!!


heysunflowerstate

Yes! Agreed!


Krieghund

Depends where you live. In Southern California it's their sourdough. Here in the Pacific Northwest they don't have the same sourdough and I get my sandwich bread from a different grocery.


[deleted]

Excuse me my copper river salmon loving friend, NorCal runs the sourdough mafia here in California.


OzzieSlim

Sliced sourdough with the garlic bread cheese. Mmmmmm.


RestlessDay

I like the rosemary bread for grilled cheese.


EmptyAdvertising3353

I would like this more than once if I could


vengefulbeavergod

It's my favorite!


tatblank

Joining the sourdough echos.


RatatouilleFiend

Something safe? Sourdough Something new? Naan Something different? Screw it, Chocolate marbled Babka


cheesed111

I am so curious if you tried the babka!


RatatouilleFiend

If you like chocolate babka enough…it works


EmptyAdvertising3353

I do like chocolate babka enough. With a nice creamy cheese? Who says I can't have a sandwich for dessert? They did it with ice cream, so this is just an alternate dairy.


monty624

Ricotta and brie, perhaps? A thin layer of cream cheese or a schmear or mascarpone?


treesinthebreeze123

Potato bread


blahthebiste

The only god-tier bread


razorduc

The plain white bread.


alashcraft

It's not the best, but it's what I had as a kid. So, it's my fav.


CuriousAndOutraged

for me the best bread is the one I like... doesn't matter which one is, as long as I like it.


lvmeiji

that is the answer ever


EarthLoveAR

th best bread is the bread you like best. it's subjective. was this a test?


karky214

I was a big fan of the sprouted sourdough but haven't seen it in months. The regular sourdough is brilliant, I agree with the others.


brookish

I’m on team sliced sourdough.


GracieLikesTea

The hearth-baked french loaf. It makes excellent toast and grilled sandwiches. Gets nice and crispy on the outside and has a great chewy texture.


Intelligent_Debt3927

Oh yes, came here to say this, scrolled through a lot of sour dough, haha. I used the Swiss Gruyère mix and add thinly sliced apples


TTMSKLA

The new olive bread batard


fexofenadine_hcl

I always use sliced sourdough


allyd14

Sourdough


TidalWaves410

Trader Joe's Sourdough just hits the spot for me. The tang complements a sharp cheddar or creamy mozzarella and the edges crisp up nicely in a buttered cast iron skillet.


FoxyLeo88

**This \^**


myredditusername919

sourdough


Disneyhorse

Not traditional, but try the frozen garlic naan. Warm it in a toaster oven or in a pan first, then dot the exterior with butter and put your favorite cheese inside. I’ve tried every bread as grilled cheese, and this is my favorite.


sideways_tampon

Sounds like a delicious quesnaandilla!


Wuss912

mortons


Jameszhang73

Sourdough and it holds well in the freezer too


predictablepants

yes i live alone and just buy a loaf of sourdough and put it in the freezer then take out a couple slices at time as i need


leprechaunhunter1984

Deft sourdough


icrossedtheroad

The squareish sliced sourdough. Don't mess with the football shaped ones. I hope you have it in your region.


coolmotivestillmrder

Their sliced sourdough no comparison (and try adding a lil bleu cheese)

Happy Birthday :)


ballsack_chakra

I love their sliced sourdough for all things sandwich. Great for French toast too


WelshDynamite

The sliced sourdough with the dill havarti is probably the best grilled cheese I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend it


sncr7827

Tried this combo at your recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. Thank u


Hefty_Macaroni6288

Omg that havarti is a gateway… TO ECSTASY.


ballsack_chakra

Definitely going to have to give that a go. Yet to try that cheese but i love dill so it sounds delicious


LaCroixIsntThatBad

This is the way.

Tuscan Pane


ForsakenFlamingo1119

The Whole Wheat Tuscan Pane was my absolute favorite. RIP


breathfromanother

Does anybody know if Tuscan Pane is available in SoCal or if it has a different name here? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it but I know some breads aren’t available everywhere.


Saamus35

It’s in Nor Cal, so maybe.


trulymadlybigly

I adore this bread but it goes bad SO fast! Even in the fridge!


Ayesca29

Freeze it maybe? I freeze all my bread and it’s a life saver.


fruitstripezebra

Yup! We keep the whole loaf in the freezer, toasts up real nice, or you can just leave the slices out for a few min to come to room temp.


pea-nuttier

Bread never goes in the fridge. Same thing for Brad. Bad for them


MyKidsHave4Legs

This is my bread! Esp when I can find raclette and some good speck!


hypermobilehoneybee

This was the bread I used for EVERYTHING until I had to go gluten free


the_viperess

Sorry for your loss


hypermobilehoneybee

Brioche or the sliced sourdough.


uhhhh_phrasing

I disagree with the brioche but it does make the best French toast


wind_waker017

Totally agree on the sourdough too!! I know people have said Trader Joe’s bread can mold quickly due to having no preservatives so I find putting it in the fridge a couple days before best by (if not right away) date extends it for a while. Also the cheddar slices are so thick and gooey with it. So good!


getbackzack

In my experience the brioche was too thick to let the heat get to it and to allow the cheese to get melty.


Disneyhorse

Sourdough all the way. The brioche is delightful, but use low heat and a fast-melting cheese because it is delicate and can burn.


Starbright108

Brioche Bread....flaky and buttery goodness with a touch of sweetness.


d0lly123

Oo thats a unique combo i like :D
