GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Cheese Recipe by Tasty image

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your grilled cheese sandwich will be. Use a good-quality bread, cheese, and butter.
  • Butter your bread: Buttering the bread helps to create a crispy, golden crust. Use a generous amount of butter, especially on the outside of the sandwich.
  • Use a good melting cheese: Not all cheeses melt well. Some cheeses, like cheddar and mozzarella, melt smoothly and evenly. Others, like Parmesan and feta, don't melt well and can become rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're making multiple grilled cheese sandwiches, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sandwiches from cooking evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cooking the grilled cheese sandwich over medium heat will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from becoming rubbery.
  • Flip the sandwich only once: Flipping the sandwich too often will make it more likely to fall apart. Flip the sandwich only once, when the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

A grilled cheese sandwich is a simple but delicious comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a grilled cheese sandwich that is perfectly crispy, cheesy, and gooey. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled cheese a try!
