Grilled cheese is a simple, comforting meal beloved by people of all ages. But it’s possible that you’ve been making your grilled cheese all wrong. Check out these tips for an easier, more delicious sandwich.
Use Mayonnaise Instead of Butter
This might sound off-putting, but it’s one of the more common tricks out there. Mayo has a higher fat content and spreads more easily, making for a crispier, more evenly toasted golden crust.
Shred Your Own Cheese
Pre-shredded cheese has additives that actually makes it worse for melting. If you are opting for shredded cheese over slices, make sure to put in some extra work and grate it yourself. You’ll thank us when you taste the difference.
Don’t Stop at One Cheese
Sure, a grilled cheese is good no matter what, but when you use multiple cheeses, you are in grilled cheese heaven. A good mix of mild, sharp, and creamy could be a slice of American, some shredded cheddar, and a little bit of Brie.
Cheese the Outside
In addition to the creamy, gooey cheese on the inside, you can include a layer of crispy cheese on the outside by shredding some cheese straight onto the pan before placing your bread down.
