What Does It Taste Like?

This sandwich is the perfect balance of crisp, buttery bread on the outside and soft, melty cheese inside. If you use sourdough, you get a nutty crunch; with white bread, you get that nostalgic diner-style grilled cheese. Add-ins like bacon or tomatoes make it richer, while avocado or caramelized onions add depth. Either way — every bite screams comfort.
