There is nothing more comforting than a grilled cheese sandwich. It really takes you back to lazy Sundays of your youth. The texture of gooeyness and crispness is just amazing. Well everyone’s favorite perfectionist Martha Stewart has the recipe for a perfect grilled cheese. The key is to make sure the outside of the bread does not get too burnt, and has a golden color with a little brown in it. And to make sure the cheese fully melts. I like to cover my grilled cheese with a pan top to ensure that it melts well. You really have to watch it while it’s cooking too.

I used to cook the bread on both sides but my friend Roxanne said that’s a bit of overkill. We used to make grilled cheese all the time when we were both poor making 20 grand salaries a year and it was so pleasant and simple and fun. I make quite a bit more than that now, but I don’t feel like I’m that much more happy because of the money.
