The Perfect Grill Cheese Recipe

🧀The perfect grilled cheese starts with the right bread, such as grocery store sourdough, which has the right amount of crust and chewiness.

🧀American cheese is a must for that classic grilled cheese flavor, but you can also add other cheeses like sharp cheddar and provolone for extra flavor.

🧀Toasting both sides of the bread before adding the cheese ensures a crispy exterior and melty cheese inside.
