The Secret Behind the Best (and easiest) Grilled Cheese

By: A.M. La Revista Binacional

The secret to the best grilled cheese is cheese. Choosing the correct type of cheese (and grating instead of slicing it) can completely turn around this dish, and you’ll be able to get that nice cheese pull we all love. Another secret hack I recommend is adding a splash of water to your pan and letting it evaporate with the lid on. The water vapor will help your cheese melt without risking burning your bread.

Ingredients

2 slices of bread

Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheese (you could use Pepper Jack for a little spice).

Butter

1/2 tbsp of water

Instructions

Start by spreading some roomtemperature butter into your bread. Mix your grated cheese into a bowl. Place one of the slices into a cold pan with the butter facing down. Add your cheese and pat it down so it doesn’t fall off your bread.

Turn the heat up to medium and toast bread for 5-8 minutes, or until your bread is toasted to your liking. Flip your bread and add your water to the pan. Cover with a lid immediately, and toast for 5-8 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
