A grilled cheese is a grilled cheese, right? Wrong, without these 5 commandments it ain’t no grilled cheese sandwich!
A Grilled Cheese Must…
- be a closed sandwich, griddled on both sides.
- have cheese as the primary ingredient. Other ingredients can complement the cheese, but none may overwhelm it.
- be made with sliced bread. Thus a sandwich made with whole, crust-on loaves like a panino or a Cubano do not qualify.
- be served hot all the way through, with the cheese thoroughly melted.
- be cooked on a flat, greased surface until golden brown. In extreme circumstances it may be cooked on an outdoor grill over an open fire. A grilled cheese may never be baked or deep-fried.

It’s salty, gooey, crisp, buttery, and comforting in all the right ways.
