The Pantry Staple That Intensifies The Umami In Grilled Cheese
BY DEB KAVIS
The key to enhancing the umami flavor in your grilled cheese sandwich is by introducing this element of tangy, savory goodness to the mix: a dash of Worchestershire sauce.
Worcestershire sauce forms a delightful complement to the earthy elements in a grilled cheese. The addition goes especially well with a nice sharp cheddar and sourdough bread.
Mixing a spoonful into your mayonnaise or butter for frying will infuse the flavor into your outer crust. Alternatively, you can drizzle a few drops onto the cheese before grilling.
