About grilled cheese
Grilled cheese is an American comfort-food sandwich built from buttered bread and melting cheese. This profile follows Serious Eats' classic skillet method and selects its cheddar option.
Cheddar gives the sandwich a savoury, gently sharp dairy richness, while butter and toasted white bread add a warm, nutty flavour.
The exterior is crisp and evenly golden, enclosing soft bread and a glossy, molten cheese centre.
