I'm Frank Proto, professional chef and culinary instructor, and today I'm going to show you the best way to make grilled cheese at home, Frank style.
2
We're talking everything you need to know to make the crispiest, crunchiest, cheesiest grilled cheese sandwich you've ever had.
3
This is Grilled Cheese 101.
4
When you talk about grilled cheese, everyone has an opinion.
5
There are tons of variables when it comes to a really good grilled cheese.
6
You got your bread, you got your mayonnaise or butter, you have the cheese that you use as well.
7
I believe mine is the best.
8
The bread that I like to use for my grilled cheese has a very tight crumb.
9
Now, if you don't know anything about bread, the inside is the crumb.
10
I don't want lots of holes in here.
11
So the Wonder Bread is okay.
12
You know, it's a nice slice.
13
It's got a nice tight crumb.
14
I find that when you use this type of bread, the outside gets nice and crispy, but the inside gets a little pasty.
15
And I don't like the texture of it when it's cooked.
16
Versus this loaf.
17
This one's a little sturdier.
18
It's got a nice crust.
19
pretty tight and it's not mushy and it won't get pasty
20
when it's cooked sourdough is delicious
21
but once you start toasting it it's like razor blades on the roof of your mouth
22
and this also has a lot of air pockets in it
23
which for bread is great
24
but for grilled cheese isn't great the cheese just kind of slips through it's less of a sandwich
25
and more of crispy cheese with bread around it this bread
26
is kind of a nice marriage between a really nice loaf and a store -bought white All right,
27
it's time to get funky with the cheese.
28
I have a block of Gruyere cheese.
29
Gruyere cheese is Swiss cheese's stinkier, smellier cousin.
30
If you've never had it, it is delicious.
31
It's got some funk to it.
32
It's expensive, but what we're also going to use is something a little cheaper, American cheese.
33
Each of these cheeses have properties that I like in a grilled cheese sandwich.
34
The American cheese, nice and melty.
35
The Gruyere cheese, really flavorful.
36
and we have a really nice combination of cheeses.
37
We're gonna start out by shredding our Gruyere cheese.
38
We're gonna cut the rind off.
39
Whenever I grate cheese, I like to make a small piece, right?
40
This piece is really big and I have decent sized hands, but this one is just too big for my hand.
41
So I take a smaller piece of cheese and when I grate it, grate her on the side, not like this, I call that granny style.
42
I put the grater on the side, I hold the tray and the grater together and I push.
43
doing less work.
44
You're using your body weight, not necessarily your muscles.
45
I will never use pre -shredded cheese for these sandwiches
46
because pre -shredded cheese has things in there that stop them from sticking together, which also makes them not melt really great.
47
Not melty enough, not good.
48
Shred your own cheese.
49
What I'm looking to do here is get a nice crunchy exterior and a nice melty interior.
50
And everything medium low heat.
51
If I have it on high, my bread's gonna burn before my cheese is melted.
52
And then I'm gonna get some mayonnaise.
53
I hear all your haters out there.
54
Mayonnaise, not butter?
55
What are you, crazy?
56
Yes, I'm crazy.
57
Mayonnaise, in my opinion, is the better thing to use here for a grilled cheese.
58
It's got a little more zip, a little more flavor.
59
It doesn't burn like butter.
60
You brush it on the bread so that you get a nice even browning on your bread.
61
And then what I do .
62
that and I put it in my pan, right?
63
So the first layer's down.
64
And then I'm gonna add my American cheese.
65
And I'm not worried if my cheese overflows on the sides.
66
Part of the reason I'm using a non -stick pan is because I'm kinda hoping that happens.
67
So cheese kinda like goes over the sides, gets in the holes and gets super crunchy.
68
And I want little bits and pieces of that because I think it just makes the overall experience better.
69
So I'm gonna do about three slices Gruyere.
70
The fact that the Gruyere is shredded makes it melt a little quicker.
71
But I'm gonna try and go all the way up to the edges.
72
I like to season the inside of my sandwich with salt and pepper.
73
Cheese has a lot of salt content, but I think that a little more salt makes this all the more better, just to kind of bump up that cheese flavor.
74
I find just doing this or assembling it in the pan, you don't have to transport it.
75
It's just a lot easier to do it this way.
76
And then this goes on top, make sure that you match.
77
And now we wait.
78
The reason I like to do this over low heat is that it makes it more foolproof.
79
The bread's gonna cook slowly and crisp up.
80
The cheese is gonna melt all the way through.
81
It takes a little more time, but it's worth it.
82
How many times have you had a burnt on the outside grilled cheese with the cheese that's not melted in the middle?
83
It is just a cheese sandwich, it is not a grilled cheese.
84
So to make sure this isn't burning, I just check once in a while to see where we're at, I'm not really getting brown yet, and that's okay.
85
Let's turn this.
86
Oh my lord, look at that.
87
Come on, how does that not make you smile?
88
Look at that.
89
Look, I have some cheese toasties on the edge.
90
Even I'm impressed with myself.
91
So you'll know that your cheese is starting to melt when you try and pull this top piece of bread off, and it sticks, right?
92
That means the cheese is melting and holding everything together.
93
One caution here, give it a little more time than you think, because the center usually takes a little longer than the rest of the outside of the sandwich.
94
My cheese is starting to melt, and that's going to give me a nice crispy edge.
95
That is the stuff right there.
96
That makes me happy.
97
It's gonna be great.
98
Get your hot grilled cheese sandwich.
99
Make sure you have chef hands.
100
But look at that.
101
This is what I'm talking about.
102
This is what makes me happy when I see a grilled cheese sandwich.
103
Little bit of cheese leaking out and getting crispy, okay?
104
Nice brown.
105
Nice and crisp.
106
I'm gonna cut it in half.
107
Quick downward motion.
108
Put it on the plate. of crunchy potato chips.
109
And that is my perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
110
Let's look at this baby.
111
Oh, we got some cheese pulled there.
112
Look at that.
113
So when you open up this sandwich, you can see my cheese is fully melted.
114
It's gooey and delicious.
115
I have crunchy cheese along the edges.
116
My bread is nice and crispy.
117
Come on.
118
Is that not a beautiful grilled cheese sandwich?
119
creaminess, cheesiness, crispiness, it hits all the notes and that's why I think it's the best grilled cheese sandwich out there.

Übungstipps

Um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und dein Hörverständnis zu schärfen, solltest du das shadowing anwenden. Höre dir den gesprochenen Text aus dem Video aufmerksam an und versuche, die Sätze in Echtzeit nachzusprechen. Achte dabei besonders auf den Tonus und Rhythmus des Sprechers, um deine Aussprache zu optimieren. Nutze eine shadowing-Seite, um die Geschwindigkeit des Videos anzupassen und so die Schwierigkeit an dein Sprachniveau anzupassen. Je nach deinem Fortschritt kannst du mit langsameren und dann schnelleren Passagen beginnen, um deine Fähigkeiten im shadow speech zu erweitern.

Denke daran, dass regelmäßige Übung und Wiederholung entscheidend sind. Nimm dir die Zeit, um schwierige Phrasen mehrmals zu wiederholen, bis du dich mit der Aussprache wohlfühlst. Dies wird dir helfen, auch in anderen Kontexten, nicht nur beim Kochen, sicherer zu sprechen. Stelle dir vor, du bist selbst der Küchenchef und erkläre die Schritte laut, um dein Englisch Shadowing zu intensivieren.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
