There are more ways and recipes to make Grilled Cheese Sandwiches than there are days in the year, but this my friends… is THE perfect grilled cheese sandwich!
The outside of the bread is is crispy and golden
The cheese is perfectly melty
They are just the right “not-guilty” size
So you can have 1, 2, or 3…
Start with sliced fresh french bread, not too thick, not too thin
Spread both sides with mayonnaise, real mayonnaise like Duke’s
NOT butter, just mayonnaise
Place the bread mayonnaise side down in the skillet and top with a thin slice or two of American, Velveeta or Cheddar cheese and place the remaining bread slices on cheese, mayonnaise side up
Cook on medium to medium low heat, slowly, so bread toasts and cheese melts. Carefully flip over to toast the other side
The mayonnaise makes the bread crisp perfectly on the outside while staying soft on the inside, and adds a little tang
You’ll never miss the butter!

You can cut the bread into fingers or shapes with a cookie cutter
