Making a grilled cheese sandwich sound like it would be a simple task, but it’s actually fraught with possibilities of things that can go wrong. Whatever you do, don’t make these mistakes.
*Overcooking the sandwich: If you step away from the hot stove or oven to attend to another task, it’s perfectly possible that you might lose track of time. The result could be a singed and scorched mess that is inedible to boot.
*Stacking on too much cheese: While having too much cheese is generally never a bad thing, it is true when making a grilled cheese. If you have thick slices of cheese, the melted texture and taste that you’re craving just might not happen.
*Using too little cheese: On the other hand, using barely any cheese will result in a sandwich that is boring and tasteless. You want enough cheese to amply cover the bread, and you want to use thinner slices, too, so that the cheese can melt.
*Getting stuck in a rut: We all have tried-and-true recipes and ways of doing things. That being said, feel free to branch out and try different types of bread, cheese, and toppings for your next grilled cheese sandwich. You just might discover a great combination of ingredients that you will love!
