4. Toast The Bread
Good grilled cheese is based on the bread and its toastiness. Everyone has a preference when it comes to how light or dark they want their bread. Some just like their sandwiches lightly toasted and others prefer them darker and even burnt.
The secret to the perfect texture is to toast the bread before you grill it. You can do this by popping both slices in the toaster. Once they are toasted, butter one side of each slice and use it for your sandwich. Toasting the bread before you grill it will prevent the butter from soaking through and help prevent the sandwich from getting soggy. The sandwich will hold up better and won’t fall apart.
If you are making a grilled cheese that contains heavy or large ingredients, this is important. The bread will be heartier and able to hold up all type of ingredients. You can also do this if you just plan on making a traditional grilled cheese.
