![]() ![]() Otherwise, I’ll use anything and everything – tasty, Monterey Jack, colby, swiss, cheddar. A good vintage cheddar or gruyere are my absolute favourites. Just a normal, good sourdough is all you need!Ĭheese 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. My favourite is a nice sourdough but not those super fancy ones that come with a crazy thick, tough teeth-breaking crust. □īread – This recipe will work fine with any sliced bread (sandwich, loaf etc) though you want to ensure the slices are not too thick (cheese might not melt), too thin or too soft (will get squished by the cheese) or too holey (cheese-escape-routes). However, rest assured there’s flexibility and options! It’s more about technique. Here’s what you need to make my idea of the perfect grilled cheese. What you need for a grilled cheese sandwich Microwave – No, you haven’t, have you? *YES I HAVE!* □ Though, still perfectly acceptable to scratch your cheese-toasties itch! Jaffle maker –The sealed edges and squished bread are the cons here. Nor will you get the same golden buttery crust! However, useful method to use for batch cheese-toastie making (my method: toast bread, place on rack, butter, cheese, grill, eat open face or sandwich together) Travesty!! And a quick note on other cooking methods….īroiler/grill – This method works fine and is a good alternative for batch cheese toastie making but you can’t achieve that same awesome melding of buttery-bread-molten-cheese like you do in a pan. This also causes cheese to ooze out, limiting the amount you can put in the sandwich to not-enough. The weight of the lid presses down on the bread too much. The bread gets too squished in toasties and sandwich makers – even the ones that have a “thick set” option. Which is better? While it comes down to personal taste and convenience / speed, for me the grilled cheese wins hands down. ![]() But toasties are made using a sandwich press or toastie maker, while grilled cheese is made on the stove in a skillet, griddle or pan. Grilled cheese vs cheese toastie – Fundamentally they are both toasted bread with melted cheese sandwiched between them. Use freshly grated cheese instead of sliced or pre-shredded īutter both sides of each slice of bread and Use sourdough bread instead of ordinary sandwich bread Then to take it from excellent to new heights of greatness…. Use a pan on your stove! Just look at the superior golden buttery crust you get to bite into! ↓↓↓ Use TWO types of cheese – mozzarella for stretch and another for flavour (gruyere and vintage cheddar are my favourites) So here are my two golden rules for my very best grilled cheese: And really, is there even such a thing as a bad grilled cheese? Perhaps not.īut there is such a thing as a GREAT grilled cheese sandwich! I realise it might seem strange to share a recipe for what is fundamentally just melted cheese between bread. Are you ready to meet the ultimate cheese toastie? My two golden rules for a great Grilled Cheese So when I have one, it has to be great!
