What to Serve with Grilled Cheese

Of course, you probably think of tomato soup when you think of grilled cheese pairings, but there’s so much more you can try. Check out the ideas here in my what to serve with grilled cheese post.

Tips

• You only need enough butter to coat the bread lightly. If you add too much butter, the bread will get soggy.
• Keep the heat to medium at the highest so the bread toasts instead of burns.
• If you choose thicker bread, reduce the heat, as the heat will have to transfer through the thicker bread to melt the cheese, which means a longer cook time.
