"Chef Thomas Keller transforms grilled cheese by using brown butter for richness, swapping regular cheese for nutty Gruyere, and choosing brioche for a fluffier, tastier sandwich."
"By introducing brown butter into the cooking process, Keller not only enhances flavor but also adds a gourmet touch to this nostalgic comfort food."
Famed chef Thomas Keller offers expert tips for making a gourmet grilled cheese in his book 'Ad Hoc at Home.' Instead of traditional butter, Keller uses brown butter, which provides a rich, nutty flavor essential for the sandwich. He replaces standard cheese with Gruyere, known for its sweet and nutty notes, and opts for brioche bread, removing the crusts for a fluffier texture. After achieving a golden crust on the stovetop, he finishes off the sandwich in the oven, ensuring a perfect melt and crispy exterior.
