The Overlooked Bread That Helps Reinvent Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
BY SARA KLIMEK
If you're thinking of experimenting with the bread for your grilled cheese sandwich, turn to the English muffin to give your grilled cheese a flavorful and unique upgrade.
The English muffin has tiny little pockets all over it, so when the cheese melts, it has a lot more surface area to drip down into, delivering cheesy goodness in every bite.
Plus, this bread has a firmer exterior coating. It's easier to carry and eat on-the-go than other sliced breads that aren't sturdy enough to prevent the cheese from slipping out.
To ensure a flavorful English muffin grilled cheese, cook it open-faced in a toaster oven, as this will allow the cheese to melt into the bread while also browning the muffin base.
Alternatively, toast your English muffin ahead of time before sandwiching your cheese in between. Just be sure you allocate enough time for your cheese to melt.
