INSIDE-OUT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH



Inside-Out Grilled Cheese Sandwich image

In my humble opinion, this crispy, crunchy, cheesy masterpiece is the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich. Make sure you follow some basic rules for this to work properly. Only use airy, nutritionally insignificant white bread. Use a nice sharp cheddar and be sure to use a quality non-stick pan over medium to medium-low heat.

Tips:

  • Spread butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread to help it brown and crisp.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Grill the sandwiches in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the sandwiches over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the bread has time to brown.
  • Use a spatula to press down on the sandwiches as they cook to help them cook evenly.
  • If you're using a cheese that doesn't melt well, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to the pan to help it along.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
