Mis En Place For a Better Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheeses may seem way too simple to make to bother with mis en place — the fancy way of saying gathering all of your necessary items before getting started. But it will result in a calmer grilled cheese making process, and therefore a better sandwich for you! So just humor me and try it once.
Gather a plate and put on or around it: a flipping spatula, two pieces of bread, a jar of mayo, a butter knife, two thin slivers of butter, two slices of cheese, and any other grilled cheese fillings you may be using. There, now youve achieved mis en place! Set this place of ingredients within easy reach of your stove and you can get ready to turn up the heat.
Wasnt that so much easier than opening the fridge five times, spinning around to grab utensils, and oh yeah, that other thing too. Lets get on to the grilled cheese, which today is a pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich, but the mayo trick will work on any kind of grilled cheese you want!
Why Mayonnaise Instead of Butter?
Mayo is eggs and oil whipped together, in its purest form, making it essentially just fat. You get a good sear or crust on things when you put them in hot fat. According to Southern Kitchen, the ingredients in store bought mayo have a higher smoke point, which means you can cook the sandwich over a higher heat. That means a crispier exterior, fluffier interior, and meltier cheese.
