Best-Ever Grilled Cheese
A classic grilled cheese sandwich made with white bread, melted American or cheddar cheese, and a secret ingredient - mayonnaise - for the perfect golden-brown crust.
Ingredients
- •2 slices Pullman or other white bread
- •1 tablespoon butter
- •2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- •2 slices American cheese or cheddar
- •1 pinch pepper
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Place 2 slices Pullman or other white bread on a cutting board and spread mayonnaise on top side of each; this is key to a golden, delectable crunch. Heat a small skillet (nonstick, ideally) over medium. Slide in a dab of butter. When it melts, place 1 slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, in skillet; top with a few slices American cheese or cheddar; season with pepper. Top with second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. When underside is golden brown, about 4 minutes, turn sandwich and add another dab of 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 Campbell's Tomato Soup.
