Notes
Tips & Tricks for the Best Grilled Cheese
- Use thick-cut bread like sourdough or ciabatta—it holds up well and crisps beautifully.
- Make sure your spinach isn’t watery before adding it to the sandwich to avoid sogginess.
- You can easily swap in mozzarella or provolone if you want a milder, meltier cheese.
- Add-ins like olives, caramelized onions, or even a slice of tomato make great customizations.
