The quest for perfect grilled cheese, although noble, can feel endless. Although the classic snack requires only two kitchen staples – bread and cheese – countless ingredients can be used to make your cheese grilled even better.

Try it by also broadcasting a few sauce dashes in the middle of your sandwich before grilling it to give the rich flavors of Worcestershire an opportunity to fusion with cheese as it melts.
