Tips:

Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the heat of the grill is best. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole-wheat bread.
Use a variety of cheeses. The best grilled cheese sandwiches have a combination of cheeses that melt well together. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère, and Swiss.
Add some extras. For an extra-flavorful sandwich, try adding some extras to your grilled cheese. Some good options include bacon, ham, avocado, or tomato.
Butter the bread. Buttering the bread before grilling it will help it to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
Grill the sandwich over medium heat. Grilling the sandwich over medium heat will help it to cook evenly without burning the bread.
Cook the sandwich until the cheese is melted and gooey. The best grilled cheese sandwiches have melted, gooey cheese that stretches when you pull them apart.
