Grilled cheese: here’s how to make this sandwich with a runny center of cheese, ideal for fall

For some time now, grilled cheese has enjoyed some success. A craze that only increases with fall. Faced with gray and rain, we need comfort. This sandwich therefore stands out as an essential food of the season. Its little extra? It is very easy and quick to prepare, especially in the evening after a day of work when the lack of time and motivation is felt. It’s a bit like the Anglo-Saxon cousin of our croque-monsieur. This is then the ideal meal.

To make your grilled cheese a success every time, there are still a few tips to know. Indeed, if this recipe seems simple in appearance, it is sometimes possible to fail, for example, when cooking… Result? The entire recipe is then put in jeopardy. So to become an expert on the subject, here’s how to go about it.

To make your grilled cheese, it is important to avoid cheeses that are too dry and have difficulty melting. Halloumi, for example, will not be preferred for this type of cooking. On the other hand, if cheddar is the flagship cheese of the classic recipe, it can be accompanied or even replaced by a cheese such as gruyere, mozzarella, raclette or even blue since these are cheeses which run a lot as soon as the heat starts to rise. It’s up to you to enjoy yourself.

You can enhance your recipe as you wish. It is therefore possible to add fish or vegetables as in our tuna and spinach grilled cheese recipe. For meat lovers, it is possible to add slices of bacon on top and cover everything with a little maple syrup. It’s up to you to choose your preference.

Moreover, it is possible to make a vegan grilled cheese. Know that you can replace your cheese with fake cheese that you can make at home from butternut squash puree mixed with cashew nuts for texture, a little miso paste to recapture the umami side of the cheese, a pod garlic and smoked paprika for flavor.

Little tips before you get behind the stove. The first, to butter your toast, the easiest way is to use soft butter so that it is easier to spread. You can even melt it and soak it using a brush on your slice of bread. It will be just as delicious.

Then, when cooking, remember not to overheat your pan. In fact, the cheese must have time to melt, without the bread toasting too much.

You can now start the recipe.

By cutting it this way, you will enjoy the cheesy runny heart. This will make it easier to dip your sandwich pieces in a mustard/honey sauce or even in your soup. Accompany it all with a small green salad. All you have to do is taste. Enjoy your food !
