Notes

Use high-quality cheese for the best melt quality; shred it yourself instead of purchasing pre-shredded cheese. Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure even browning of the sandwiches. Add a thin layer of Dijon mustard inside your grilled cheese for an extra flavor boost. Store leftover grilled cheese in the fridge for up to two days, wrapping it in foil to maintain crispiness. Enjoy with a refreshing green salad or roasted veggies for a balanced meal!
