Secrets To Perfectly Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Choose the Right Bread

Opt for sturdy bread like sourdough, whole grain, or a classic white loaf to ensure it holds up well and crisps nicely.

Use Quality Cheese

Select cheeses that melt well, such as cheddar, American, Swiss, or mozzarella. For extra flavor, consider combining different cheeses.

Butter the Bread, Not the Pan

Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of each slice of bread. This ensures a golden, crispy exterior.

Cook on Medium-Low Heat

Use medium-low heat to allow the cheese to melt fully without burning the bread. 

Press Down Gently

Use a spatula to press the sandwich down gently as it cooks. This helps the cheese melt evenly.

Experiment with Add-Ins

Enhance your grilled cheese by adding ingredients like caramelized onions, tomatoes, bacon, avocado.

Cover the Pan

For a perfectly melted cheese, cover the pan with a lid for a minute or two.
