Sensational Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Dennis WeaverNov 25, 2024
Especially if you are using a denser bread or thicker slices of bread, it can be hard to make the cheese ooey, gooey.  The bread gets dark before the cheese gets gooey. A lower heat works better than a higher heat; it takes time for the heat to soak through the bread and melt the cheese and the lower heat is easier on the bread. To trap the heat and speed the melting, I put a lid over the sandwich.  I don't leave the lid over the sandwich for the entire cooking time. Because the lid traps steam, which I don't want, I take the lid off as soon as the cheese starts to melt and finish the cooking without the lid.
