Instructions

  1. Spread the mayonnaise generously over one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a slice of bread, mayo side down, onto the skillet. Sprinkle ½ a cup of the cheese onto the slice. Don't worry of some of it hits the pan. Spread the cheese evenly over the slice.
  3. Place a second slice of bread, mayo side up, on top of the cheese. Let the sandwich cook for 4-5 minutes, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, and adjusting the heat if needed.
  4. Once golden brown, flip the sandwich over and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Transfer the grilled cheese to a plate and serve warm.

Notes

  • Bread Choice: Opt for a bread that's sturdy enough to hold up the cheese and get crisp, but not so thick that the cheese won't melt. A medium-sliced white, whole wheat, or sourdough works great.
  • Cheese Options: While cheddar is a classic, feel free to mix and match cheeses. Combining different types, like mozzarella for stretch and Gouda for flavor, can elevate your sandwich.
  • Spread Evenly: Ensure the mayonnaise is spread evenly across the entire surface of the bread. This helps achieve an even golden color and crispness all over.
  • Watch the Heat: Cook the sandwich on low to medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese has a chance to melt. Patience is key for that perfect golden crust and gooey center.
