It’s ok cheddar is delicious. When I cook grilled cheese, I pan fry it, but I don’t use butter. I use a thin layer of mayo on the outside of the bread.

Fun fact: you can put cheese inside *and* outside your sandwich. A crispy cheesy grilled crust is so good. A little shredded cheese once it's golden to melt, then flip and let it fry a bit.
Shredded cheese on the outside is the secret move. Amazing results.
Those little bits of fried cheese that fall off are so good, it only made sense to coat the whole sandwich in it.
I used to do it a lot when I was a teen. Somehow I stopped at some point.
You don’t strike me as someone who was once a teen.
