Tip:
For the ultimate crispy, golden crust on your grilled cheese sandwiches. Try this: once you’ve assembled the sandwiches. And placed them in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid. For the first few minutes of cooking. This creates a bit of steam. Which helps the cheese melt evenly. And quickly. Without over-toasting the bread. After a few minutes. Remove the lid. To let the bread get perfectly crispy. And golden brown. Also, consider using a combination of olive oil and butter on the bread. For an extra flavor boost. And an even crispier texture. This little trick. Will make your sandwiches irresistibly delicious!
