GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY
The secret to a perfect grilled cheese recipe? Mayonnaise! (No, really, it makes the outside crispier and tangier.) Spread butter on one side of each bread slice and mayo on the other. Sandwich the cheddar slices between the buttered sides, leaving the mayo sides on the outside. Fry for a few minutes until golden, dip into a bowl of tomato soup, and resolve to never make a grilled cheese without mayo ever again!

Steps:
- Spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread; flip, so that buttered sides are facing down. Top 2 slices of bread with apple slices, 1/3 cup Gruyere cheese, and a sprinkle of thyme leaves. Place the other 2 slices of bread on top, buttered sides facing up.

Flip carefully using a spatula, pressing down lightly. Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes more, watching and adjusting heat if necessary to keep bread from burning before cheese has melted.

GRILLED CHEESE ON RAISIN BREAD
This sandwich is a little different than the usual grilled cheese but so good. I always serve it with a bit of corn syrup for dipping (ketchup would not work!). Actually, when we were growing up grilled cheese always came with a side of corn syrup for dipping and that still is the way I like it best. I am a cheese lover, extra old cheddar is my favorite but on this sandwich I go back to Velveeta which once again takes me back to my childhood. This sandwich is quite sweet so if you don't like sweet it won't be your cup of tea!

Steps:
- On a large sheet of wax paper butter one side of each bread slice and turn slices over. Arrange Cheddar on unbuttered sides of bread, covering bread evenly, and top 4 cheese-lined slices with bacon. Flip remaining cheese-topped bread onto bacon.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over moderate heat until hot and cook sandwiches in batches, pressing lightly with a metal spatula, until undersides are golden, about 1 minute. Turn sandwiches over and cook, pressing again, until undersides are golden and cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like raisin bread or sourdough will hold up well to the grilling process and provide a satisfying crunch. Avoid using soft, delicate breads like white bread or sandwich bread, as they will easily become soggy.
- Use a generous amount of butter: Butter is essential for achieving a golden brown, crispy grilled cheese sandwich. Be sure to spread it liberally on both sides of the bread before grilling.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're making multiple grilled cheese sandwiches, be sure to cook them in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the sandwiches from cooking evenly and will result in soggy bread.
- Cook over medium heat: Medium heat is ideal for grilling cheese sandwiches. This will allow the cheese to melt slowly and evenly without burning the bread.
- Flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking: This will ensure that the sandwiches are cooked evenly on both sides.
- Serve immediately: Grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve them immediately with your favorite sides, such as tomato soup, chips, or pickles.
Conclusion:
A grilled cheese sandwich is a simple yet delicious comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a grilled cheese sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled cheese on raisin bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
