How do you make the best grilled cheese sandwich?
Grilled cheese is one of the best lunches for a weekend lunch. Normally, we grab some sandwich bread, shredded cheddar jack and a stick of butter and head to the griddle. Today, we decided to do a quick experiment to see if we could make a better grilled cheese sandwich. We tried different breads, cheeses and fats.
Here is a link to our experiment: https://youtu.be/fR4XAYEA1eE
We all had different opinions on what makes the perfect grilled cheese, but we did break down how we liked the different parts.
Bread
Regular White Bread – Classic grilled cheese, makes a good crust
Sourdough – Adds a little extra flavor to your sandwich, takes a little longer to brown
Jalapeno Cheddar – If you like jalapenos this is awesome, makes a good crust
Whole Wheat Bread – Tastes like the school sandwich, made an okay crust
Cheese
Cheddar Jack Cheese – Melts well, tastes good
American Cheese – Melts really good, tastes good
Port Wine Derby – Did not melt as well as other cheeses, tasted good
Swiss – Melts good, tasted pretty good
Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese – Didn’t melt, tasted weird (dad liked this with jalapeno cheddar bread)
Fat (for frying)
Butter – Made a good crust, tasted good
Olive Oil – Made a good crust, tasted good
Mayonnaise – Didn’t crisp up as well as butter, tasted okay
Miracle Whip – Didn’t crisp up as well as butter, tasted too sweet
Sour Cream – Stuck to the grill so the crispy part pulled off the bread, tasted okay
