There’s nothing more comforting than a perfectly golden grilled cheese sandwich—but with Harrison Ford’s unique twist, this classic snack goes from ordinary to extraordinary. By adding fresh tomato slices and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, you get a sandwich that’s melty, tangy, and full of bold flavor. This isn’t just grilled cheese—it’s grilled cheese on another level.
Harrison Ford’s Perfect Grilled Cheese Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 slices sturdy whole wheat or multigrain bread
- 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1–2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons softened butter (or mayonnaise)
- Freshly ground black pepper, optional
- Smoked cheddar, optional (for extra depth)
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Start with hearty whole wheat or multigrain bread—it holds up better than thin sandwich bread, which can get soggy. Shred the cheddar cheese yourself for the best flavor and texture. For a smoky twist, mix in a little smoked cheddar. Slice your tomato thinly and pat the slices dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture.
Step 2: Build the Sandwich
Lay out two slices of bread. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese evenly across them. Layer on the tomato slices, then drizzle lightly with Worcestershire sauce. Add a pinch of black pepper if you’d like. Pile on the rest of the cheese and top with the remaining slices of bread.
Step 3: Grill to Perfection
Spread softened butter or mayonnaise on the outsides of the bread slices. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in. Press gently with a spatula and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid burning.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the pan and let the sandwiches rest for a minute before slicing. Cut diagonally or into halves and serve warm. This cheesy masterpiece is incredible on its own, but pairing it with a bowl of creamy tomato soup takes it to another level.
