HOW TO MAKE
THE BEST
GRILLED CHEESE
Yes, the grilled cheese can be a simple sandwich – but it also can be so much more! Just let Luke Zahm, James Beard-Nominated Chef, Owner of Driftless Cafe & TV host of ‘Wisconsin Foodie’ explains!
Butter It Up: I prefer to toast my grilled cheese in butter- no mayo, no ghee.
PRO TIP 1
Melt the Cheese First: I begin the melting process by adding the cheese to the griddle on its own, then adding the buttered bread, THEN adding the cheese that's melted to the toasted bread.
PRO TIP 2
Try Something New: Vary up the cheese styles to create contrast in melting points and flavor. Try pepper jack, alpine style – even blue cheese!
PRO TIP 3
Amp Up the Flavor: Have you ever gotten funky with it and used a jalapeño jelly, an apple butter, or even sliced grapes on your sandwich? It’s time to try!
PRO TIP 4
Have the Right Tools: No need for pro cooking tools, but you might want to try the George Foreman Contact Smokeless Grill, for melted cheese perfection.
