  • Spread the butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread, not the inside. This will help to create a crispy, golden crust.
  • Use a generous amount of cheese. This is what makes a grilled cheese sandwich so gooey and delicious.
  • Add your favorite fillings, such as cooked bacon, thinly sliced ham, or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tomato soup, chili, or ranch dressing.
