FAQ

What cheese goes best on sourdough?

Our way: Sourdough plus five cheeses: Gruyere, Manchego, Monterey Jack, Brie, and Sharp White Cheddar.

How do you make grilled cheese taste better?

I like to melt the butter, then sprinkle the skillet or griddle lightly with salt to season the outside of the sandwich. Other things to remember include: Low and slow is the way to go; keep things moving; and serve ’em while they’re hot!

What is best cheese for grilled cheese?

American cheese, Cheddar cheese, Brie, Monterey Jack cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, Gouda, Havarti, and Fontina are some of the cheeses I choose to use because the differences between yellow and white Cheddar are not very great.

Is it better to butter the pan or bread grilled cheese?

Instead of slathering a pat of butter into a hot skillet, butter your bread instead for more flavor and even browning. Generously spread one side of each slice of bread with softened salted butter, or use mayonnaise in place of butter.
