How to make the best grilled cheese sandwich:
- Any ordinary pan will do, but a flat-top griddle works best for your cooking surface.
- Instead of slicing your cheese, try grating it for a better texture due to a quicker melt.
- Set the heat on medium-low. At this temperature, the bread will crisp up slowly. This allows the heat to penetrate the cheese and melt it evenly without burning your bread.
Some people like to use butter on their grilled cheese; others prefer mayo. You can choose one or the other and still end up with a great tasting sandwich.
It does not matter if you want the classic or if you try new and innovative ways of making a grilled cheese. The bottom line is that this sandwich gives you comfort and goodness at the highest level.
