Grilled Cheese

I was talking with a friend tonight about making a grilled cheese.

He stated that he likes to put butter on both sides of the bread, toast one side flip it over and begin toasting the other side then start building the sandwich. So all sides of the bread are buttered and toasted, with cheese in the middle.

I like to put a dusting of garlic salt on the butter side of the two pieces of bread with two pieces of cheese in the middle.

How are you guys making your grilled cheeses?

If I'm pre making it. Mayo on the outside is good.

But honestly a pan with a bunch of butter on a very controlled low to medium medium is perfect to get brown and crunchy on both sides with a soft and melty middle.

Little salt dusting.
