This recipe is an exhaustive exploration to create the ultimate 'Grilled Cheese Deluxe' inspired by the cartoon 'Regular Show'. It involves crafting a custom, super-melty cheese blend that mimics processed cheese's texture with the flavor of artisanal cheeses, and baking a soft, homemade sandwich loaf from scratch to serve as the perfect foundation. The result is a deeply flavorful, incredibly gooey, and perfectly golden-brown grilled cheese that truly lives up to the 'deluxe' name.

Create the cheese blend by heating evaporated milk, dissolving gelatin in it, then melting in grated cheddar, gruyère, gouda, and parmesan. Blend until smooth and chill for 4+ hours to solidify. → Prepare the bread dough in a stand mixer, let it rise twice (45 minutes each), shape into a loaf, and bake at 400°F for 25-35 minutes. Cool completely. → Slice the homemade bread and the chilled cheese block. → Assemble the sandwich by layering cheese between two buttered slices of bread. → Grill in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is spectacularly melted. Garnish with olives.

Analyzing cooking steps...
The key to getting artisanal cheese to melt like American cheese without separating is the technique involving evaporated milk and gelatin. This emulsifies the fats and proteins for a perfect, non-greasy melt.
Making your own bread is a significant step but provides a soft, sturdy, and flavorful base that is superior to most store-bought options. Be sure to let it cool completely before slicing to prevent it from tearing.
The video experiments with various fats for grilling (butter, mayo, olive oil). Butter was determined to be the winner for the best classic flavor and crust.
Don't rush the process. Chilling the cheese block and cooling the bread are essential steps for getting clean slices and the best final texture.
