    FAQs

    What is the secret to a good grilled cheese sandwich? ›

    Use butter, and salt your skillet before adding the bread.

    If you want to go really wild, leave out the butter altogether and instead spread a layer of mayonnaise on every surface of your sandwich before cooking. It'll melt and brown, adding a touch of tangy-sweet flavor.

    Is it better to use butter or mayo for grilled cheese? ›

    The mayo and butter combo crisped up like a dream and I didn't have to worry about any burnt butter solids. The overall verdict? If you want a low effort, high reward grilled cheese, use mayo. But if you want to make an extra special sandwich, use a mayo-butter combo.

    How to make a grilled cheese like Gordon Ramsay? ›

    Using a cast iron-pan, add a touch of olive oil and get pan hot over medium-high heat and add sandwich. After about 30-45 second push sandwich so it crisps and cheese melts. Flip after about 2 minutes, once slices are nice and crunchy. Keep flipping and pushing down until cheese is melted.

    Is grilled cheese better with butter or oil? ›

    Both can be used. However, I prefer butter as a better-tasting choice for grilled cheese. It adds a buttery flavor to the sandwich, and the milk solids are lightly brown to add a nutty taste and aroma.

    What is the best bread for grilled cheese? ›

    For the ideal grilled cheese, look for bread with a soft-but-hearty texture with even slices of medium thickness (about 1/4 inch). Hearty sandwich bread, sourdough, brioche, and rye all work very well. Avoid rolls and loaves with large holes in the interior.

    How to make grilled cheese Martha Stewart? ›

    Place sandwiches in skillet (in two batches, if needed). Reduce heat to medium-low; gently top sandwiches with a lid slightly smaller than skillet for even cooking. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides and cheese is melted, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve immediately.

    Do you start grilled cheese in a cold or hot pan? ›

    Getting the perfect grilled cheese is all about timing: you want the bread to brown and crisp, and the cheese must be melted to gooey perfection. Starting in a cold pan means the bread heats, melting the cheese before it browns, giving both parts of this perfect whole time to do their thing.

    Should you cook a grilled cheese fast or slow? ›

    Low and slow is the way to go when it comes to making grilled cheese. Be patient so you can get the perfect crust and a nice melty interior. If you are making multiple sandwiches, you can use an electric griddle pan. Make sure you don't turn the heat up too high.

    Should you grate or slice cheese for grilled cheese? ›

    Cheese options – For the best grilled cheese, you want to use a combination of mozzarella (for its cheese pull and non-greasy melting qualities) with a flavoured cheese – because mozzarella actually has a very mild flavour. Cheese slices work fine but honestly, you get a better melt using shredded.

    Should you use sliced or shredded cheese for grilled cheese? ›

    Shred Your Cheese: Do not, we repeat, do NOT use sliced cheese for grilled cheese. First, it is best to bring your cheese up to room temperature before cooking your sandwich. Then, shredding the cheese will help ensure that it melts faster and more evenly. Keep in mind, certain cheeses melt easier than others.

    Is it better to make a grilled cheese sandwich with butter or oil? ›

    In the end, the best cooking fat for making grilled cheese is actually two fats combined: butter and mayonnaise. Read on to find out why this combination works so well and to learn more about other methods you might want to try.

    Should you toast bread before making grilled cheese? ›

    For the best results, toast your bread first. A quick toast will help your bread develop the golden edges and luscious crisp that you're after. It'll also help prevent the bread from getting soggy, no matter how many fillings you add.
