I Swear Your Grilled Cheese Will Never Be the Same After This Grandma’s Trick

There’s nothing more comforting than a perfectly made grilled cheese sandwich—but what if I told you there’s a simple trick that can make it 100 times more delicious? This game-changing tip comes straight from my grandma’s kitchen, and once you try it, you’ll never go back.

The Secret?

Use mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside of the bread.
Yes, mayo.

While butter has always been the go-to, mayonnaise creates an even crispier, more golden crust with a slightly tangy flavor that elevates the sandwich to another level. It also spreads more evenly, so no more tearing your bread while trying to apply cold butter.

Here’s How You Do It:

1. Take two slices of your favorite bread.
2. Spread mayonnaise on the outside of each slice (the side that hits the pan).
3. Inside, add your cheese of choice—cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix.
4. Grill on a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
5. Slice, serve, and enjoy the melty magic.

Optional Upgrade:

• Add a slice of tomato, a bit of ham, or caramelized onions for a gourmet twist.

You’ll be shocked at how something so small can make such a big difference. Grandma really knew what she was doing.
