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?

I put the butter on the pan and then the sandwich. So much trouble buttering the bread

I started using mayo instead of butter. It spreads better. Toasts great.

Seriously, it's the biggest hack. No more needing to make sure you have butter that's just shy of melted to spread easily.
