The Easiest Way To Give Your Grilled Cheese Sandwich A Spicy Kick
By MICHELLE WELSCH
Whether you make your grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon and goat cheese or American on white bread, hot sauce adds a little fire to help the flavors sing.
If you love some spice, add a few drops of hot sauce to the inside of each slice of bread and spread it out before adding cheese and other ingredients, then toasting the sandwich.
However, when making grilled cheeses for a group, it’s helpful to provide each diner with individual servings of hot sauce so the level of heat is in their hands.
If you use a strong or unique sauce, choose a cheese that can stand up to it. A vinegary sauce pairs well with blue cheese, and a creamy Gouda goes well with smoky habanero sauce.
