Steps:

  • Oven method (great for a crowd of six or fewer): Put a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Make one sandwich per person: Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat. Place on the preheated baking sheet and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich and bake until golden brown, an additional 5 minutes.
  • Panini press method (for crispy crunchy sandwich that needs minimal attention): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a panini press to medium heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and place in the press. Close the top and cook until lightly browned and the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Skillet method (fool-proof and low-tech): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, and continue cooking until browned and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Great combos:
  • 1. Pepper jack and sourdough, brushed with chili oil
  • 2. American and white bread, brushed with butter
  • 3. Swiss and rye, brushed with mayo
  • 4. Cheddar and brioche, brushed with butter

2 ounces sliced melting cheese (about 2 slices), such as American, Cheddar, muenster, Havarti, Swiss, fontina, Mozzarella, Monterey jack, pepper jack, provolone
2 slices bread, such as white, rye, brioche, sourdough, potato, whole wheat, pumpernickel
1 tablespoon fat, such as mayonnaise, butter or olive, chili or coconut oil

GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

The trick to great grilled cheese sandwiches isn't in the ingredients, but on the stove. Achieving a golden, crusty outside and oozy inside takes a little patience: if the heat is too high, the outside will scorch before the cheese melts. Cooking the slices separately at first gives the cheese a good head start. There's no need to search out artisanal loaves or local cheese (though they won't hurt), but definitely do not use homemade mayonnaise. Mustard, chutney or even strawberry jam (believe it) can be dabbed on the cheese as it melts, or add ham, prosciutto or slices of apple or tomato (drain on paper towels first). You can use any melting cheese, such as American, Muenster or Swiss, but not too much: part of the perfection here is in the proportion of bread to cheese.

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy pan over medium-low heat.
  • Thinly spread one side of each bread slice with butter. Spread the other side of each slice with mayonnaise and place the bread, mayonnaise-side-down, in the pan. Divide the cheese evenly on top of the buttered slices. Adjust the heat so the bread sizzles gently.
  • When the cheese is about halfway melted, use a spatula to flip one slice over on top of the other, and press lightly to melt. Keep turning the sandwich, pressing gently, until the sandwich is compact, both sides are crusty, and the cheese is melted.

2 slices bread, either soft sandwich squares or large peasant-style slices, not more than 1/2 inch thick
Butter
Mayonnaise
1 to 2 ounces grated cheddar (or other cheese), depending on size of bread

  • Meanwhile, spread the mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with pepper, and top with the second slice of bread. Brush the bread surface with the clarified butter. Go for even coverage, but don’t soak the bread or it won’t brown.
  • When the pans are hot, kill the heat and place the sandwich, top-side down, in the middle of skillet number 1. Brush the newly exposed bread face with butter and lay the bottom of skillet number 2 right down on top of the sandwich. Wait. In 3 to 5 minutes, you will hear the sizzle of melted cheese oozing out into the pan. (If you don’t, you went skimpy with the cheese.)
  • Gently remove the top skillet and use a flat metal spatula to remove the sandwich to a waiting cutting board and wait 60 seconds. You will be hungry, so at this time you may want to examine skillet number 1 for toasty little bits of cheese, which you can hungrily devour. When 60 seconds is up, you may wish to cut the sandwich in half with a serrated knife. It won’t make the sandwich taste any better, but there’s something about biting into that cut side that’s very satisfying.

8 TIPS FOR A PERFECT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH - TODAY

From today.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
  • Pick the best bread. Will mediocre bread be improved when heated and layered with cheese? Yes, definitely. But using better bread will take your grilled cheese to a whole new level.
  • Butter — or mayo — up! Standard procedure for grilled cheese is to butter the outsides of the bread before placing it in the pan — for more flavor, butter both sides, inside and out.
  • Pre-toast the bread. Grilled cheese is supposed to be quick and fuss-free and this does add an extra step, but it’s well worth the effort and hardly any trouble.
  • Use the right cheese. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using American cheese — it’s a classic for a reason — but there’s a whole world of cheeses out there just waiting to be melted between two slices of bread.
  • Don’t use too much cheese. Beyond using the right cheese, you want to use the proper amount of cheese. There has to be enough that the sandwich is sufficiently cheesy but not so much that the cheese spills out the sides and creates a mess.
  • Dress up your grilled cheese. Cheese should always be the star of the show, but there’s no reason why fontina or cheddar can’t share the spotlight with a few supporting players.
  • Go low and slow. Think like a barbecue pit master and exercise patience when making grilled cheese. Keep the heat in the medium to medium-low range and adjust it as you cook, ensuring that the bread toasts at the same rate that the cheese melts.
  • Press down for a panini-style grilled cheese. If you own a panini press, by all means use it to make grilled cheese. But if not, you still have options for making your grilled cheese super crispy.
