Notes

Cheese – Use as much or as little as you’d like.

Assembly – Begin filling and end again with mozzarella, this helps the filling to stick to melted cheese and stay intact upon cooking.

Press down – Pressing the grilled cheese down with a flat spatula or a heavy flat bottomed pan will help to crisp up the crust and make filling adhere well with the melted cheese.

Heat – High heat will burn the exterior of your bread before your mozzarella gets a chance to melt. Medium heat is the way to go.
