  • The perfect grilled cheese recipe

    An excellent way to make a grilled cheese sandwich is to first obtain sour dough sandwich bread, and then add a combination of Gouda, provolone and pepper jack. Put the stove on medium high and slither with butter. Apply sandwich with caution for 2 minutes then flip and burn for another minute. Remove from skillet and enjoy!!!
