Lately, I have been eating a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches from a small, local shop in downtown Brampton. It’s conveniently located near my work, and best of all, the food is home-made and super fresh.
They have a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches, but the pear, pecan and brie one is my all-time favourite! It’s crispy on the outside, gooey and warm on the inside, and crunchy with a sweet aftertaste.
Since I can’t eat out all the time – it’s just not wallet-friendly – I decided to try making gourmet sandwiches at home.
Here is a link to some AMAZING grilled cheese sandwich recipes.
Most are fairly quick and easy to make and there isn’t a lot of preparation involved. So go ahead, give them a try and upgrade your boring sandwiches!
Tips on how to make the best grilled sandwiches:
Use a non-stick pan so the cheese doesn’t stick and it makes flipping easy. (I use a Panini grill and it works just fine)- Butter the bread, and not the pan, to get a good crust. Don’t forget to butter the edges!
- You can try using olive oil instead of butter for a different flavour.
- If you’re using a block cheese – like cheddar or mozzarella – grate it, instead of slicing it, to make it melt faster.
- When you first put the sandwich in the pan, let it cook for about a minute to get crispy, then cover it to melt the cheese. Once melted, remove cover and flip to get both sides crispy.
