Don't butter your bread when making a grilled cheese sandwich, sauté it in a pan of melted butter.
What kind of cheese/s do you use?
Since I started the sauteeing method I have been very pleased with my grilled cheese sandwiches. I like gruyere cheese if I have it. More commonly I use an Irish cheddar or Munster. A good pepper jack works for me too.

(487 posts)Spread a little bit of yellow mustard between one side of the cheese and bread before cooking. I use sharp cheddar and butter. Never mayo.

(10,137 posts)(I'm in the San Francisco area and we can get good bread, both sweet and sour, at most local stores), and either curry powder or kim chee. The spiciness goes well with the mellow flavor of the melted cheese. We usually put them under the broiler to melt the cheese.
