Grilled cheese is an amazing, simple, classic sandwich, but there are definitely ways to mess it up and ways to do it right. For the best possible grilled cheese results, follow these tips!
Pick the Right Bread
Not all bread is created equal when it comes to grilled cheese. You’ll want one that doesn’t have a lot of holes so the cheese won’t melt through but also one that isn’t so thick that it’ll make it harder for the heat to penetrate through and melt the cheese.
Use Butter—Or Better Yet, Mayo
You can’t make a grilled cheese without using a spread on both sides of the bread to add flavor and help the cheese get nice and crispy golden-brown. But even better than using butter is using mayonnaise, which has a tanginess that can cut through the richness of the cheese. Seriously, try it out! It’ll have all of the same effects of the butter but with even more of a kick.
Use the Best Cheese
We mean this in two ways. First, try to use good, high-quality cheese. And second, use the best cheese for grilled cheese, which means cheese that melts! Great options include American, fontina, cheddar, and gruyere.
