Have you ever wondered how some restaurants get the perfect grilled cheese put on your plate? Wonder no more, I am going to show you ALL the TRICKS!
đź“Ť Pin HERE for later!
Say Cheese! Cheese, Cheese, & More CHEESE. Use different types of cheese, and lots of it!
Mayo is the Secret! Usually you make a traditional grilled cheese with butter… BUT did you know most restaurants use (real) MAYO instead? It’s TRUE! If you think about it… mayo is really just oil and eggs! (Trust me you don’t taste the mayo once it gets toasted up)
You missed a little right there! Make sure to spread the mayo (or butter) EDGE-to-EDGE! This is crucial for an even golden brown.
Turning the heat up! Preheat your pan. This will help both sides cook evenly. You don’t want your pan scorching hot but a nice little sizzle when you put the bread on is PERFECT! (A medium-high heat will works best)
Listen for that sizzle! Place your bread MAYO side down once & now put the cheese on. Layer upon layer, upon layer.. YUM! Once it is golden brown, FLIP IT!
What, WATER? In order to create that perfect melty center steam the inside (Do not fear, this will not make your soon-to-be perfect grilled cheese soggy). Place a couple of teaspoons of water on the hot pan with the grilled cheese, it will SIZZLE & that it fine! Quickly cover with a large pan lid or metal bowl (something that is high heat safe – that won’t melt of course)
Let’s Eat! Look at this, oyey-goey-melty-cheesy-goodness, YUM!
