According to Martha Stewart, the secret to the perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich is mayo. She claims a mayo/butter combination spread on all four sides of two slices of bread will give you the most perfect golden brown color when grilled.
I’ve never tried this “mayo on grilled cheese” trick but with the weather turning colder this weekend I’m definitely going to have a grilled cheese made with mayo.
Her other two recommendations are to use sourdough bread, and a combination of cheese slices and shredded cheddar for the filling.
I can be a cheese snob concerning cheese slices (they’re not really cheese!) but I have to admit that cheese slices really do belong in a grilled cheese sandwich!
What’s your perfect grilled cheese? And must you have tomato soup with it?
