Actually, I’ve found a thin layer of cream cheese on the inside to be perfect. Makes it a lot more creamy and hightens the contrast between the melted cheese and the crispy bread.

In a rush, butter the pan twice.
With time, butter the bread and butter the pan.

I do both.

Salted butter, ideally Kerrygold.

Mayo on bread, butter in pan

Always butter

Usually, and forgive me, margarine because it’s what’s in the fridge. My grilled cheese making is often impulsive.

Mayo instead of butter gives you a perfect golden crust 🔥💯

I just used munster, cheddar, and feta on multigrain with hazelnut oil, olive oil(extra virgin), and butter in an iron skillet on medium low. Took 15 minutes. Yum.

Butter though recently I’ve been using bacon grease and it’s been working really well.

Butter all the way and Kerrygold. I tried mayo but I did not like it as much

Butter for myself, but I do a catering job once a year that’s soup and sandwiches for 100+ people. For those grilled cheeses we use mayo, makes a more even color on the flattop.

Butter on one side, mayo on the other – best of both worlds 🤌

I only use sour dough for grilled cheese sandwiches, so no need for mayo.

We save our bacon fat. I made a grilled cheese with it once, and it was amazing!

Hear me out—you generously butter the pan, you put both slices of bread in at the same time, and you put shredded or VERY thinly sliced cheese on both slices—everything melts and toasts evenly, and then you just flip one slice onto the other slice and plate it—the cheese pull of perfectly melted goodness is
