The Secret to the Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich
My secret to the perfect grilled cheese is to use freshly sliced sourdough with organic mayonnaise, spread on one side of each slice. Six to eight pieces of good sharp cheddar cheese. Cook in a cast-iron skillet and use a cast-iron cooking weight. Toast each side until it’s nice and crispy (if the cheese isn’t quite melted – put it on a plate and cook in the microwave for five seconds). Serve immediately with a side of Worcestershire sauce and a small salad or bowl of hot soup.
