Although American cheese may have a reputation for being a low-quality cheese that shouldn’t be anywhere near gourmet food, we don’t think that’s fair. In fact, we have no problem putting American cheese on our gourmet subs. If the mere thought of American cheese on your sub makes you recoil, hear us out. May is American Cheese Month, so this is the perfect time to give American cheese a second chance.
Are you unconvinced that American cheese belongs on gourmet subs? Let’s see if we can change your mind.
It’s the perfect melting cheese.
When you put cheese on a hot sub, you want it to melt. And if there’s anything you can rely on American cheese to do, it’s melt quickly and evenly. Because of its smooth and creamy texture, American cheese melts almost when it meets heat from the warm ingredients of a hot sub. Not only does it melt easily, but it gets down into all the nooks and crannies, distributing cheese throughout the sub.
The flavor goes with everything.
Another important role of cheese is to balance and complement the flavors of the other ingredients and toppings on your sub. While there are plenty of cheeses we love with strong flavors, you don’t want the cheese to overpower the main event. American cheese has a mild flavor that goes with everything from steak to hot peppers.
You can’t dismiss the nostalgia factor.
Enjoying your food is about more than just the flavor. Smells and tastes can take you back to a certain time in your life and recall happy memories. American cheese is something many of us enjoyed in childhood, whether it was in macaroni and cheese, a grilled cheese sandwich, or on your hamburgers. By adding it to your gourmet sub, you can experience nostalgia for a simpler phase of your life while enjoying more sophisticated ingredients at the same time.
