Tips to The Perfect Grilled Cheese:

  • Spread the outside with mayo instead of butter. This is a NJ dinner trick to perfectly crisp grilled cheese crunch!
  • Heat the skillet to medium! Then 2-3 minutes per side to crisp the bread. When you smell toast its time to flip!
  • Use sourdough bread because it has a tangy flavor that holds up to cheesy flavor.

Grilled cheese should be the national dish of comfort food love. Its 2 pieces of carb hugs with gooey cheese in the middle. At your first bite there is a crusty bite and then a cheese pull of fabulousness. This is the perfect quick dinner that says to your family you love them and celebrate them! Cooking can be your happy place at the end of a long day just for you! While cooking dance in the kitchen, say what you are grateful for, and count your blessings! Happy Cooking!
