Introduction
This recipe compares three tiers of grilled cheese sandwiches: a classic budget-friendly $1 version with white bread and Muenster cheese, an upgraded $10 version featuring sourdough, three types of cheeses, and truffle honey, and an ultra-premium $100 version utilizing homemade avocado oil mayonnaise, dry-aged beef tallow, and a selection of six gourmet cheeses.
Step 1
Prepare the $1 Grilled Cheese: Place 2 slices of Muenster cheese between 2 slices of Wonder bread and gently pat the top.
Step 2
Melt a small pat of salted butter in a pan over low heat. Add the sandwich and toast slowly, flipping back and forth until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 3
Prepare the $10 Grilled Cheese: Drizzle olive oil into a pan and toast one side of 2 sourdough slices. Remove them from the pan.
Step 4
Spread store-bought mayonnaise on the toasted side of the sourdough slices, then season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Layer 2 slices of Cheddar, 2 slices of Muenster, grated Gruyère cheese, and a spoonful of white truffle honey onto the seasoned bread, then close the sandwich.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Grilling on low heat is essential to melt the cheese fully without burning the bread.
Applying mayonnaise to the inner side of the bread locks in moisture and yields a richer texture.
Using a lid to cover the pan creates steam, which is highly recommended for melting firm, cave-aged cheeses.
Ensure all mayonnaise ingredients are added to the jar before starting the immersion blender for a perfect emulsion.
