One tip for better melt. Before browning the outside of the sandwich, toast the insides of the bread (without butter) for a few seconds. This heats up the inside which facilitates better melting and also gives the bread a satisfying crispness throughout.

I've tried that but I find it's too much crispness for my liking. What I do is microwave the whole sandwich for a bit first to jumpstart the melt before toasting.

@@TSLMachine Just toast the inside of the bread less(like just warmed through, no brown) so the heat transfers to cheese. Or, something Frank didn't mention, covering the pan with a lid. Almost turns it into more of a convection or oven like heat/very light steam. Cover while cooking the first side, let cheese melt, flip, and cook uncovered the rest of the way through so you don't sog out the crust you just made after flipping.

If you immediately plate the hot grilled cheese, the bread touching the plate will be steamed and possibly a bit soggy and counteract your crisp factor. I let mine cool just a bit on a wire rack for maximum crunch. It's like a bag of hot french fries in an enclosed bag. It's steaminess gets trapped and counters the crisp.

I'd like to offer a third path in the butter/mayo debate: ghee (or a similar clarified butter). You get a lot of the same flavor as butter, while also retaining the higher smoke point of mayo. Plus, being a liquid makes it easy to evenly brown the sandwich in a pan without worrying about evenly applying a spread.

I tried mayo, once. It was crispy and looked pretty. And since I usually use butter, not margarine, it was much easier to apply. However, I was really missing that butter flavor. Its more trouble to let the butter soften so you can spread it easily, but so worth the flavor boost you get. And I agree with a lot of other posters, tomato soup as a side is the way to go!

It is all about the combination of ingredients. I feel on some GCSs mayo works better with the bread and types of cheeses chosen. In other ones butter works better. Also the type of butter and mayo you use matters. So instead of blindly following this recipe (maybe you should if you can get all the exact ingredients), I would invite you to find out which combination of ingredients is best with what is available in the supermarket you go to.

Solid, but I tend to find that adding jam of an appropriate, complimentary fruit to the cheese on one side on the inside *really* makes for a better overall sandwich experience. But, I also get that's not what everyone is going for when they want a grilled cheese... but I keep hoping the info will get out more! It's worth the experiment! But if you don't want to experiment, Frank's 100% on point.

I find tomato soup and grilled cheese go very well together. The acidic tart tomato and rich cheese balance so well. I always have the two together.

This might be his best grilled cheese sandwich but Mythical Kitchen says otherwise. They found sourdough bread, butter and American cheese was the best.

Frank, you missed one thing I absolutely love for a next-level grilled cheese: Instead of the mayo, I just put down a layer of shredded cheese in the pan before putting down the bread. Cooking slow, so it doesn't burn to quickly, you end up with a gooey melted cheesy inside, and the outside of your sandwich is almost entirely encrusted in the hard crunchy cheesy bits you love so much. It really is next level, and once I tried it, I've never gone back to the regular way!

If you're stuck with pre-shredded cheese, you can rinse off the starch (no stick additive) and get pretty close to fresh shred.

Frank is so close here. Doesn't do the two cardinal sins: 1) squishing the sandwich, and 2) using Kraft singles. There is only one possible improvement! First, fry up some bacon, then use the bacon grease instead of butter or mayo. As a bonus you can throw your bacon in the sammy and you have true grilled cheese perfection. Crispy like you wouldn't believe.
