Notes
- Cook's Tip#1: Make sure you don't slice the cheese too thin. I find 1/3 to 1/2-inch is the perfect thickness, but you still have to handle the slices carefully.
- Cook's Tip #2: Preparing this grilled cheese recipe on an outside grill is an excellent option --- remember it during barbeque season!
- Cook's Tip #3: Use any leftovers for salad. Cut them into smaller bits, or just break them apart with your hands and sprinkle them on salads.
