We have the secret to making the perfect grilled cheese sandwich so never again will you end up with a toastie that’s burned on the outside but the cheese isn’t properly melted on the inside! Whether you prefer white bread, wholewheat or sourdough, cheddar, mozzarella or something a little stronger in flavour like gruyère, this method is foolproof. Check out our video here

Ingredients

Bread, sliced
Softened butter, for spreading
Canola, rapeseed or similar oil
Cheese, grated or sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4 and place a large pan to heat up over medium to medium high heat with a drizzle of oil.
2. Generously butter one side of each slice of bread all the way to the edges. Once pan is hot, place bread butter side down in pan to toast. Cook until golden brown underneath, 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove toasted bread from pan and place toasted side down on a baking sheet. Arrange slices of cheese or spread evenly with grated cheese on all slices. Place in oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and immediately sandwich slices together, pressing down on sandwich with a flat spatula to make sure cheese from both slices sticks. Serve immediately.
5. Can be made with various breads, though some breads take longer to toast than others. You can also use various cheeses, but be sure to use ones that melt for best results, like cheddar, gouda, mozzarella etc. You can also add slices of tomato or first add slices of ham or similar before covering with cheese.
