The secret to a perfect grilled cheese lies in cooking it slowly over medium-low heat to achieve that golden-brown exterior while allowing the cheese to melt completely. This recipe uses a combination of cheeses for the best flavor and meltability, plus a special butter-mayonnaise blend for the crispiest crust.
For a delicious variation, try using different cheese combinations like Gruyère and fontina, or add herbs like fresh thyme or rosemary to your butter mixture. Serve with tomato soup for the ultimate comfort food pairing!
