I didn't include any recipes for these since I figured they're all pretty self explanatory. But if you want to know anything more about assembly or ingredients, just ask! The most important tip I can offer when it comes to grilled cheese is to thoroughly butter your pan. Do not use a cooking spray! I have to give my husband credit for this technique. Take a stick of butter and unwrap a little bit of one end. Use it directly on the pan, which should be at medium low, to evenly and lightly coat it with the perfect amount of butter. Always repeat before flipping to get a nice toasty brown top and bottom. If you have a thick sandwich, you may want to put some weight on it using a plate.  If the cheese is not as "melty" as you would like, just pop it in the microwave for about ten seconds. Just don't burn your grilled cheese and take pictures of it then post them on instagram.

You're Welcome.
