Making a perfect grilled cheese sandwich can take both time and dirty your cookware. If you're just making a quick grilled cheese sandwich try turning your toaster on it's side and toasting the bread with the grilled cheese on top of your bread.


This is one of those tips where the photo above explains the concept better than anything I'll ever write. Culinary weblog The Kitchn shares this tip originally from Jamie Oliver's UK show Jamie's Kitchen. You can place cheese on one or both pieces of bread depending on how much cheesy goodness you wish to include.


One caveat—many modern toasters have a wire cage that folds inward to brace your breads. This will of course cause a sticky mess. If you have this type of toaster try wrapping the entire sandwich in parchment paper or aluminum foil before placing it in the toaster.
