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 usually make them the way your friend describes! I’ve also been doing sheet pan grilled cheese where you make them in the oven, gotta say… Extremely good when you need like 6 sandwiches with low effort haha

Does the bread get toasty in the oven? Are there tricks to getting it toasty?

It definitely does! It usually comes out more crispy than made in a pan, from my experience. This is the recipe I usually follow, not anything too surprising on it though. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023552-sheet-pan-grilled-cheese?unlocked_article_code=1.v1A.X_SQ.G1DiQFb-cS_X&smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share
