Tips:

  • Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the sandwich a nice flavor boost.
  • Add other fillings to your liking. Sliced ham, turkey, bacon, or avocado are all great additions to a meatloaf grilled cheese sandwich.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from overcooking.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. This is when it will be at its best, with the cheese melted and gooey and the bread crispy and golden brown.
