Tips and tricks:
*Have fun with it! Use whatever toppings feel good to you. We like to add NONA CHEESY-STYLE SAUCE to one side, and another NONA sauce to the other side of the bread. Sauce on both sides helps the grilled cheese stick together.
**We like baking our grilled cheese as it’s more hands-off, and still tastes crispy and delicious. No need to oil your baking pan, the butter on the bread is good enough.
