  • Divide barbecue sauce evenly among 4 of the slices and spread evenly opposite the butter side. Lay cheddar cheese on top of sauce. Divide caramelized onion among the sandwiches, then top with pepper jack. Finish assembly by placing remaining bread slices on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a grilled cheese sandwich, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a cheese that melts well and has a lot of flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking multiple sandwiches at once, make sure you give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat: This will help the cheese melt slowly and evenly without burning the bread.
  • Flip the sandwich only once: Flipping the sandwich too often can make the bread soggy.
  • Use a spatula to press down on the sandwich: This will help the cheese melt and the bread to brown evenly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately: Grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and gooey.
