Notes
- Make sure to butter the bread generously, or you won’t get that beautiful golden crust on the bread.
- You can spread mayonnaise on the bread if you run out of butter.
- If making multiple servings, wipe the pan down between each sandwich to remove any unpleasant burnt flavors.
- A serrated knife is the easiest way to cut a grilled cheese sandwich in half.
- It’s much easier to spread softened butter on the bread. Try to bring the butter to room temperature ahead of time.
