Tips for the Ultimate Grilled Cheese
Achieving grilled cheese perfection isn’t just about the cheese (though that’s a big part of it!). Here are a few tips to elevate your sandwich:
-
Use the Right Bread: Choose hearty bread that can handle the melting cheese without falling apart.
-
Butter Generously: Butter both sides of the bread for an even, golden-brown crust.
-
Low and Slow: Cook your sandwich over medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts fully while the bread crisps up perfectly.
-
Add Texture: For added complexity, try layering in crunchy ingredients like toasted nuts or crispy onions.
