Keep reading for our six favorite cheeses for the classic sandwich, and why we think they reign supreme.
Cheddar
Cheddar is a classic choice for grilled cheese, and for good reason.
The Dutch cheese has notes ofcaramel, and pairs well with sweet, jammy caramelized onions.
Balance out the richness of a smoked Gouda grilled cheese with a pile of peppery arugula.
American Cheese
This choice might be divisive, but we love American cheese in a grilled cheese.
Plus, American cheese melts beautifully, and its mild flavor goes with everything.
Gruyere
Feeling classy?
Go for Gruyere in your grilled cheese.
We recommend coarsely grating the Gruyere so that it melts evenly and quickly.
It melts easily, and goes with a range of toppings.
Add it to a grilled cheese with turkey, bacon, andavocadofor a filling, satisfying lunch.
Potato chips on the side are a must!
As it melts, its sweet, nutty flavor intensifies and its texture becomes velvety.
We like a Fontina grilled cheese with thinly slicedpear, or prosciutto and fig jam.
