Grilled cheese and especially the grilled cheese sandwich is on the verge of becoming a true classic. The simplicity of toasted bread, deliciously melted cheese and the combination of crunchy and creamy brings grilled cheese sandwiches to the top of the list.
Here are a few tips to consider when indulging in a grilled cheese sandwich or serving grilled cheese for family or friends:
Pick bread of high quality The texture and crustiness are best brought out with whole grain bread or sourdough. You can use any bread basically but picking a good loaf will get you far.
Go for high quality cheese The cheap or lighter cheese alternatives won’t melt or keep the flavor if melted and if you prefer creamy and tasty cheese with just the right texture, Creamy Castello Havarti is your new favorite. It adds a lot of flavor and the creamy, melted texture is absolutely irresistible.
Toast the bread in butter Toasting the bread in butter will make your grilled cheese sandwich golden brown, very tasty, and extra delicious.
Add extra grilled cheese on top If you can't get enough of the grilled cheese, the melted cheese, you can grate extra cheese on top of your sandwich a few minutes before it's done. The grated cheese will melt adding an extra layer of goodness to your grilled cheese sandwich. Try also a full slice of Creamy Castello Havarti on top, let it melt and enjoy your double-up grilled cheese sandwich. You can, if you please, grill your cheese sandwich with a lid while cooking. The lid helps keep the heat trapped which means the cheese will melt perfectly without the risk of burning your bread.
Experiment with your choice of vegetables We have recommended using bell pepper for this grilled cheese sandwich recipe. But you can try it out adding your favorite vegetables like onion, garlic, or green pepper. The taste naturally differs but sticking to good bread and Creamy Castello Havarti is a safe bet. Use our recipe as the basis and experiment with your own ideas to make different variations of the well-known classic.
