Notes
The key to a great grilled cheese is great bread. Experiment to find your family favorites! Read more about the Best Bread for Grilled Cheese.
High quality cheese is important too. Choose cheese that it is fresh sliced from your local deli – or buy a fresh block and grate it yourself.
The more even the slice of bread, the more evenly it will brown.
Variations
Sub your favorite deli meat or prosciutto for the ham
Try a variety of cheeses until you find your favorite!
Sub the butter out for mayo on one side of the bread.
