For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a thin spread of Dijon mustard to the inside of the sandwich. Experiment with different cheeses! A blend of cheddar and Gruyere is particularly delicious. If you don't have mayonnaise, softened butter works as a substitute for achieving a golden-brown crust. To prevent the cheese from oozing out too much, make sure the bread slices are adequately sized to contain the cheese.
