Building a Great
Tasting Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Living in Wisconsin, cheese is a food that we eat
frequently. These sandwiches have become
much more interesting than just slices of cheese and white bread. Here are some tips for making a great tasting
grilled cheese sandwich.
Cheese. Look at using a cheese like Harvarti, Gouda,
Muenster or Fontina. These cheeses all have a softer texture which melts well.
Vegetables.
Fresh fruits and vegetables can be a perfect addition by adding nutritional
value and flavor. Examples include:
avocado, apple slices, blueberries and cucumbers.
Bread. Select a whole grain or whole wheat bread for
a tasty sandwich.
Spread.
Traditionally, grilled cheese sandwiches are made with butter or
margarine. If you choose to use butter
or margarine, only use a small amount. Other options include coconut oil or
olive oil. Add a small amount of oil
directly to the skillet rather than spreading it on bread. Warm up the pan and oil, then place the
sandwich in the hot oil.
Cook low and slow. You will get better results when using medium-low
heat rather than rushing. If too high of
temperature is used, the bread will brown quickly without thoroughly melting
the cheese.
