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.

GRILLED CHEESE atau lebih dikenali as CHEESY MELTS ni sangat lah addictive. Yg ni portion untuk sendiri makan, actual size dia double thickness dari gambar ni. Kalau dah makan skali, the next round datang mesti nak repeat the same menu. Bukan kami yang kata, tapi memang ada raving fans @nazzeerascafe @rotibakarkacangphoolpenang memang macam tu. Dah bertahan tahun jadi customer, setiap kali datang, mesti akan order menu yang sama. Ada yang sorang ni, kalau dia datang, dia nak cheesy Melts pepperoni every time datang, dah almost 4 tahun dah jadi loyal customers KAMI. Kalau dia datang dengan FAMILY, dia akan recommend the exact same menu dengan family dia, so most of them end up order Cheesy Melts Pepperoni. Ada yang sorang lagi customer ni, wife dia memang raving fan Cheesy Melts vegetarian, pon dah jadi raving fan for more than 4 years dah, bila tanya tak nak try yang lain, kata dia wife dia kalau dah suka satu2 menu tu, dia nak stick to menu tu saja, yang lain tak mau….. Sorang lagi customer, setiap kali datang, CHEESY MELTS is a must ordered menu on top of menu2 lain yang dia order, kengkadang siap tapau bawak balik untuk makan dikala lapar petang nanti. Kenapa CHEESY MELTS di Nazzeeras' boleh create raving fan untuk menu ni? Sebabnya hampir setiap component ingredients dalam menu ni, di adun sendiri dengan resepi yang tersendiri, rempah dan sauce2 yang digunakan di Nazzeeras' semuanya dibuat sendiri almost all from scratch. Macam saya selalu jawap bila ditanya tak takut competitor tiru ka? Orang boleh copy idea but they will not be able to produced the exact same flavour. Pada yang tak pernah try menu Grilled Cheese aka Cheesy Melts di Nazzeeras' ni, kena la Cuba tau 😊😊, if kena dengan selera, Mungkin Tuan / Puan pulak jadi raving fan Cheesy Melts di Nazzeeras' nanti. 😁😁😁 Kami ada 2 branch di Pulau Pinang NAZZEERAS' KACANG PHOOL PENANG TG.TOKONG SELASA – AHAD 8a.m. – 4p.m. NAZZEERAS' KACANG PHOOL PENANG GEORGETOWN OPEN DAILY 8a.m. – 10p.m. WhatsApp http://www.wasap.my/60192201355/nazzeerasCM #NAZZEERAS #NAZZEERASCAFE #PENANGCAFE #kacangphoolpenang #RotiBakarKacangPhoolPenang #cheesymelts #grilledcheese #sandwiches #penangsfamous

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.
