National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day Date in the current year: April 12, 2024

Grilled cheese sandwich appeared in the USA in 1920s, when expensive cheese and bread slices became available. The very first grilled cheese sandwich was served as an open-face sandwich, but eventually it evolved into what we know today.

Grilled cheese sandwiches can be served with bacon and tomatoes, which makes the meal much more filling. These sandwiches also pair well with tomato soup, which is a southern staple.

If you want to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich, use only fresh butter. The flavor of the butter is very important for the sandwich. Never grease the pan with butter; put it only on the outer side of bread and distribute it as evenly as possible to ensure that the sandwich turns out golden and crispy. If you want the cheese to melt faster, grate or shred it instead of slicing. And don't forget to press the sandwich with spatula after flipping. This will help the cheese spread between the bread slices evenly.
