How do you keep grilled cheese from getting soggy?

Toast your bread first. This is optional, but a quick toast will help your bread develop the golden edges and luscious crisp we're after. It'll also help prevent your fillings from making the bread soggy. Place the bread cheese side down.

Is butter or mayo better for grilled cheese?

On the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich, mayonnaise is more convenient and yields a nicer texture. However, the taste is not ideal. We still prefer traditional butter, but, if there's no butter softened on your counter, do reach for the mayo. You'll be pretty happy with the results for sure.

What is the difference between Colby cheese and cheddar cheese?

While some people compare Colby to cheddar, they taste very different. Cheddar can be sharp or mild, but Colby cheese is always mild. This is because Colby is softer than cheddar, with a more open texture. The moisture content of Colby is also higher.
