Introduction
An incredibly crispy and gooey grilled cheese sandwich featuring a combination of freshly grated Gruyère and sliced American cheese. Mayonnaise is spread on the outside of sturdy Tuscan-style bread and cooked slowly on low heat to achieve the perfect golden crust.
Step 1
Grate the block of Gruyère cheese freshly on a box grater. Avoid pre-shredded cheese as it contains anti-caking agents that hinder smooth melting.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly before the bread burns.
Step 3
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of a slice of Tuscan-style bread, and place it mayonnaise-side down into the preheated pan.
Step 4
Layer 3 slices of American cheese on the bread. Let some edges overlap slightly to create crispy cheese bits later.
Step 5
Pile the freshly grated Gruyère cheese generously on top of the American cheese layer.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using sturdy Tuscan-style bread with a tight crumb prevents the melted cheese from leaking through the holes.
Mayonnaise is preferred over butter because it spreads easily without tearing the bread, has a higher smoke point (doesn't burn as quickly), and adds a delicious tangy flavor.
Grate your own cheese from a block; pre-shredded cheese contains additives that prevent it from melting smoothly.
Cook on low to medium-low heat. High heat will burn the bread before the cheese inside has a chance to melt.
