1. Choose good bread
You don’t have to buy anything fancy, but it’s worth choosing a sturdy slice. Sourdough bread, Texas toast, or thick-sliced whole-grain bread all hold up well. Thin bread can become mushy or collapse under the weight of the cheese.
2. Choose melty cheeses
The magic of grilled cheese is that chewy, stretchy center. What are the best choices for meltability and flavor?
Cheddar (sharp or mild)
American (extremely creamy)
Swiss (nutty and rich)
Mozzarella (mild and stretchy)
Or better yet – mix them!
A slice of cheddar and a slice of mozzarella together are heavenly on bread.
