TIPS For Making the Perfect Grilled Cheese:

Grilled cheese sandwiches are perhaps one of the most satisfying yet easiest meals to make! However, there are a few cardinal rules to consider when wanting to make it absolutely perfect.

• Have Patience. To reach the golden brown, crispy outsides you’ll need to work at a low temperature on the stovetop at about 3-4 minutes on each side. You just have to be patient for about 5-7 minutes!
• Use Softened Butter or Mayo or Olive Oil. Mayo does have a higher smoking point but if you’re patience enough to cook at a low temp than softened butter and olive oil work wonders.
• Good Coverage. Make sure your spreads, cheeses, and an additional fillings reach to all the edges for equal deliciousness in every bite.
• Use a Cheese Born to Melt. You could add parmesan, manchego, ricotta, etc to your grilled cheese, but be sure to compliment it with a melting cheese like sharp cheddar, muenster, and American.
• Use Sourdough (if Possible). You want a bread with a tight crumb to keep the cheese from falling out and burning in your pan. Sourdough is incredible for grilled cheese, but you can also use white breads.
