Skip the fancy add-ins – this grilled cheese recipe shares the secrets to a perfect bite with ooey, gooey cheese and toasty bread. Perfection.
Ingredients for a Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Bread – Make your grilled cheese with any bread you like! This is a childhood favorite and I love a simple version with white bread or an elevated version with sourdough. Cheese – My favorite cheese for grilled cheese is cheddar. Sharp cheddar has the most flavor while American cheese is extra creamy – I often include a slice of each. Butter – Okay, hear me out. Instead of buttering the outside of the bread, I use mayonnaise. It has a higher smoke point than butter and makes the bread nice and crispy. You can use butter if you’d like but I highly recommend giving mayo a try.
How to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Holly’s Tips for Grilled Cheese Perfection
Cook grilled cheese sandwiches on a ‘low and slow’ heat so the bread will toast and the cheese melts inside. Make the exterior extra crispy be replacing butter with mayonnaise. If your grilled cheese is ‘loaded’ with lots of goodies or extra cheese, place the bottom slice in the pan and leave it open-faced. Cover with a lid until the ingredients melt together, and then add the top slice of bread. Flip it over and cook until crisp.
