  1. Titles like "Perfect," "Ultimate," or "Best" should not be used for something like this that is personal preference. As one who likes a very crunchy texture, there are three things I would do differently here. First, I toast the INSIDE side of the bread under my oven broiler, then build the sandwich. Secondly, I prefer to melt the butter (or whatever you are using) in the skillet or on the griddle rather than spreading it on the cold side of the bread first. (I saved at least one marriage with this advice). The third thing I see here that I think is a mistake is in the photos. I see photos with the sandwich (or at least half of it) laying on it's side on the plate. That create's condensation that makes the bottom side soggy. I prefer to immediately cut the sandwhich in half diagonally, and then stand the halves up on the cut side to protect the grilled sides from condensation against a plate or other surface. Those are my preference. I won't claim that they are best, perfect, ultimate, or any other superlative. Just what I like.
     
  2. Yummy sandwich. I used the slice of provolone and some grated cheddar. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper. Made for Spring PAC 2013.
     
  3. I made two for the DM and I and used wholemeal/wholegrain bread (can't remember when I last had white bread in the house) and as I was cooking them in the sandwich press I put the mayo on the inside and for the cheese I used a cheddar and a jarlsberg as that is what I had and we loved that gooy cheesy toastie, thank you Jenni Girl made for PARTY game.
