Just a tip I picked up (I think from Serious Eats) about grilling both sides of the bread. Adds extra crunch and flavor.

I agree. I've been cooking mine that way for over 20 years. It is the way my wife preferred them when we met and just became the standard ever since.

A couple of years ago I saw a Jamie Oliver video for his "Ultimate Grilled Cheese", you can find it on youtube.

Basically you grill your sandwich as normal then remove it from pan and sprinkle grated cheddar into the pan and let it cook till most of the moisture is gone, then lay the sandwich on top for a minute. Do this for both sides. Yum crispy cheese coating.

Recently someone told me to try mayo instead of butter and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a lot of taste difference but it does not burn as easily as butter. Also there are many different flavored mayo's available that could work well.
