Molly Levels Up Her Grilled Cheese Game

This video is sponsored by SHUN! Link below, y'all!!!!
Today, Molly teaches us how to level up the classic grilled cheese. There are a few ways in which she does this. The first is the MF double crunch! She shows us how to optimally crisp the bread for maximum crunchiness. Next, she makes a Gilda tapenade with pepperoncini, cornichons, olives, and anchovies (because why the heck not???). Finally, she tops the glorious sando with a Gilda skewer, adding even more brininess and perfection to this grilled cheese. This recipe is easy, impressive, and most importantly delicious. Not to be missed!

    Double crunch is an excellent sandwich technique (been doing this for a while) - it's def for when you've got more time, but it's an amazing, simple hot-sandwich upgrade to have in your arsenal. Really improves the experience.

    Here me out: Addition of freshly shaved prosciutto, and instead of binding the Gilda tapenade with just EVO since you’re frying in EVO and it can easily get saturated, and the mixture will be loose- A touch of mustard for the tang and to bind it all together!

    I could see a version of this with a roasted hatch chili and garlic tapenade. With pickled jalapenos and Spanish olives speared on the top. A version with brie and goat cheese and preserved fruit 'tapenade' in the middle? The point is the double sided grill and the two kinds of cheese and the flavor/texture bomb in the middle? Excellent recipe. I promise to perfect the original first.

    I'm curious - because we're using the double crunch technique, do we still need to worry about grated cheese melting into the bread? I like grated cheese for coverage (and my knife skills are kinda bad), but I don't want any sog in my sando
