Chef Frank's Ultimate Grilled Cheese

An incredibly crispy and gooey grilled cheese sandwich featuring a combination of freshly grated Gruyère and sliced American cheese. Mayonnaise is spread on the outside of sturdy Tuscan-style bread and cooked slowly on low heat to achieve the perfect golden crust. Chef's tips: (1) Using sturdy Tuscan-style bread with a tight crumb prevents the melted cheese from leaking through the holes. (2) Mayonnaise is preferred over butter because it spreads easily without tearing the bread, has a higher smoke point (doesn't burn as quickly), and adds a delicious tangy flavor. (3) Grate your own cheese from a block; pre-shredded cheese contains additives that prevent it from melting smoothly. (4) Cook on low to medium-low heat. High heat will burn the bread before the cheese inside has a chance to melt.
