- Tip 1: For the best texture, use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-packaged shredded cheese, which often contains additives.
- Tip 2: Ensure the pan isn’t too hot to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts.
- Tip 3: Try using different types of bread, such as sourdough or ciabatta, to change the flavor profile
