Best-Ever Grilled Cheese
After rigorous scientific testing for this best-ever grilled cheese, we've determined that sandwiches sliced in half on a diagonal actually taste better.
Ingredients
Makes 1 awesome sandwich
2
slices ½"-thick Pullman or other white bread
2
tablespoons mayonnaise
1
tablespoon unsalted butter
2
ounces thinly sliced American cheese or cheddar (about 4 slices)
Freshly ground black pepper
Campbell's Tomato Soup (for serving; optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Place bread on a cutting board and spread mayonnaise over top side of each; this is key to a golden, delectable crunch. Heat a small skillet (nonstick, ideally) over medium. Slide in half of butter. When it melts, place 1 slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, in skillet; top with cheese; season with pepper. Top with second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. When underside is golden brown, about 4 minutes, turn sandwich and add remaining butter to skillet. Press down on sandwich to encourage even browning and to help melt cheese—be gentle, don't smash it. Cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is melted. Eat immediately, preferably with soup.

Wow I made this grilled cheese and it was so good I haven't ate anything else since then. I believe im getting backed up but I don't give a hoot I'll deal with that at a later time, I believe I have the best daily schedule because of this said sandwich. I won't go into my whole day but after I get done walking my toaster and feeding my radio I fire up the ole stove for one of these sandwiches.

BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER. I MADE THIS FOR MY BEST FRIEND AND SHE ATE IT ALL. SHE SAID THAT SHE'S ALLERGIC TO MAYO AND LACTOSE INTORELANT AND STARTED TO DANCE WEIRDLY ON THE GROUND. I THINK SHE REALLY LIKES THE GRILLED CHEESE BASED ON THIS RECIPE. THANKS, I'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE HER GRILLED CHEESE WITH THIS RECIPE.

These are really good instructions. I followed everything exactly like the person posted. There were a little issues here and there, but nothing I couldn't resolve on the fly. I finally was able to rebuild my transmission for my car. Thanks!

I found that this recipe did make for a better crunch. However, I also found that it took away from the flavors of the classic we love. If you have a go to comfort food recipe for grilled cheese, I suggest staying with it. That's my opinion for my taste. I encourage everyone to try it, tweak it, and experiment with it. If nothing else, there's always your old favorite to fall back on when you need it most.

I used a hearty whole grain bread with provolone. I can't stop making it for lunch! The only downside is the timing. 4 minutes on 4 on my gas stove in a cast iron skillet is too much. I'm still tinkering. Even a little over-cooked this sandwich is a delight! Mayonnaise? Whoda thought!

these comments are life-altering lol. will be trying this soon. looks sooo good.

Sooooo, made this sandwich while watching hockey thinking since it was just preseason I wouldn't get very invested in the game. I thought wrong, got caught up in the game and forgot to turn the sandwich after 4 minutes and ended up burning one side. On the bright side the sandwich still tasted great ( that's how good this recipe is) and on an even brighter side my team won.

This was the best grilled cheese ever, I brought it to the elementary school and got 7 kids to eat it in my van, this is better then candy, 100% recommended this to all your local kid lovers.

Wow this Grilled cheese is delicious! I gobbled it up in one swipe and became Dora. Yo soy Dora! Vamanos a la playa! I met up with my hot cousin Diego and when I gave him the grilled cheese he fell in love with me. We married on the beach and rode on my neighbors pink dragon. As a honeymoon, we went into the water and we happened to meet the king of the fish, Steve the Fish. Steve the Fish Enlighted me that I needed multiple husbands, so I kidnaped Swiper and the Map, and held them hostage until they kissed me. After they kissed me, I had children with the Map and Swiper. I killed Diego after he became ugly. The end! I thank this grilled cheese for giving me a happy ending!

THESE COMMENTS WHAT IN THE WORLD HHAHAHHHAHAHGA

I used Sriracha mayo, made sure my pan was the heat I wanted, added the butter & put the 1st slice of sourdough round bread 1" thick mayo side down. I then added my 3 types of cheese pieces, a few pieces of bacon, pepper, the 3 types of cheese & the last slice of bread, mayo side up. By the time I had built my sandwich it was time to flip. My hubs said these were pretty bangin' lol & rated them a 4. He ate 2 & is taking one tomorrow to work. They were pretty good 👅

Doggon these comments are hilarious. Sliced diagonally was the heads up. Thanks for a great laugh ;D

I enjoyed it.

I didn't have mayo so I substituted some room temperature butter, nor cheese so I used White American pasteurized prepared cheese product. Also, my bread was ⅝" thick. Although this made a good sandwich, I wouldn't say it was the "best-ever" -- it tasted just like the the grilled cheese I usually make.
