FAQ
Can I use different types of bread?
Yes, sourdough or whole grain work well, but avoid very thick slices that won't cook through evenly.
What if I don't have Muenster cheese?
Mozzarella, provolone, or mild cheddar make good substitutes for similar melting properties.
How long will leftovers keep?
Grilled cheese is best fresh, but can be reheated in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side within a day.
