What’s your go-to MINIMAL EFFORT meal: Ramen, PB&J, heating a can of soup, microwave nachos, “cereal à la handful”, Hot Pockets, or just a pint of ice cream? (???)
How about a straight-forward grilled cheese?
According to a new survey, 61% of Americans say the grilled cheese is their favorite sandwich. But get this: A whopping 75% of people don’t feel confident that they’re an expert at making grilled cheese.
Here are some stats about our grilled cheese preferences . . .
71% of people say buttering the bread delivers the best crisp on the outside, 12% swear by mayo. And 68% say the perfect grilled cheese includes more than one cheese, although cheddar seems like a must. 43% prefer white bread, but others like sourdough, multigrain, and brioche.
As for technique though, the survey didn’t reveal much.
So, I’d say: Bread, a little butter, a melty cheese, and cook it nice and slow on a hot surface: A griddle, grill, or pan. What am I missing?
