BEST-EVER GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE | BON APPÉTIT



Best-Ever Grilled Cheese Recipe | Bon Appétit image

After rigorous scientific testing for this best-ever grilled cheese, we’ve determined that sandwiches sliced in half on a diagonal actually taste better.

Provided by Alison Roman

Yield Makes 1 awesome sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices ½”-thick Pullman or other white bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 ounces thinly sliced American cheese or cheddar (about 4 slices)
Freshly ground black pepper
Campbell’s Tomato Soup (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Place bread on a cutting board and spread mayonnaise over top side of each; this is key to a golden, delectable crunch. Heat a small skillet (nonstick, ideally) over medium. Slide in half of butter. When it melts, place 1 slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, in skillet; top with cheese; season with pepper. Top with second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. When underside is golden brown, about 4 minutes, turn sandwich and add remaining butter to skillet. Press down on sandwich to encourage even browning and to help melt cheese—be gentle, don’t smash it. Cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is melted. Eat immediately, preferably with soup.

TOP SECRET RECIPES | MIMI'S CAFE FIVE-WAY GRILLED CHEESE



Top Secret Recipes | Mimi's Cafe Five-Way Grilled Cheese image

When I think back on all the grilled cheese sandwiches I was served as a kid, I don't get very nostalgic. Around my house the recipe was plain and simple: slap some American cheese between a couple slices of white Wonder bread and grill it in a hot skillet until browned on both sides. Good enough grub for a kid I guess, but what if Moms back in the day had a grilled cheese recipe like the one served at Mimi's Cafe? Would my young palate have been able to appreciate the five different cheeses? Would the sourdough bread brushed with soft garlic butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese have won over a littler me? I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know that as an adult this is the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. It's been on Mimi's menu since the first day the restaurant opened back in 1978 in Anaheim, California; and the chain serves around 18,000 of these sandwiches every year—surely to both adults and kids alike. Grab yourself some sliced Swiss, Cheddar, Jack, mozzarella, shredded Parmesan and sourdough bread. This is an easy recipe, so you'll have no trouble quickly cranking out four awesome grilled cheese sandwiches that I'm sure absolutely everyone will love. Now, how about a bowl of Mimi's Cafe Corn Chowder or French Onion Soup to go with that sandwich?  Source: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 3 by Todd Wilbur.
