Tips:
Here are some tips for making a classic grilled cheese sandwich:
Use good quality bread: Look for bread that has a good crust and a soft interior. Sourdough, whole wheat, and white bread are all popular choices.
Choose the right cheese: Cheddar, Swiss, and Gouda are all great choices for a grilled cheese sandwich. Use good quality cheese and make sure it's sliced or grated evenly so that it melts consistently.
Use butter: Spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread. This will ensure that the bread gets crispy and golden brown when it's grilled.
Cook on medium heat: Cook the sandwich on medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt before the bread gets too brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Press it: Use a spatula or a sandwich press to press down on the sandwich while it cooks. This helps the cheese melt and the bread gets crispy.
Be careful when you flip it: Be careful when you flip the sandwich so that it doesn't fall apart. Use a wide spatula or a pair of tongs to flip it.
Let it cool: Let the sandwich cool for a minute or two before you cut it. This will make it less likely to fall apart when you take a bite.
Enjoy!
