2. The Right Bread
Source quality white bread from a bakery. The high sugar content of processed bread makes it burn faster and white bread has a more neutral flavour than brown that lets the flavours of the filling shine.

5. A Little Extra On The Side
Make sure there are a few different flavours going on for balance-experiment with combinations of sweet, savoury, salty, spicy and creamy. Figs, olives and goat ricotta work well for a Mediterranean-inspired snack. The crispiness of toasted bread and the gooiness of melted cheese create a wonderful contrast in textures. You can add pickles, onions or bacon to a standard grilled cheese for extra crunch.
