Notes
- Almost any cheese will work on a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. However, you want to stay away from cheeses that don’t melt or slice well. Avoid feta, blue cheese, goat cheese, queso blanco, and white cheddar.
- Our favorite cheeses for grilled cheese are cheddar, havarti, and gouda.
- If you don't secure your sandwich with toothpicks, then the top piece of bread might fly off during cooking.
