- She prefers using Cheddar cheese and butter on the outside for the perfect flavor.
- We also share more recipes to try to elevate a grilled cheese sandwich.
What does your go-to sandwich look like? For many, it’s a summery tomato sandwich, or even a BLT. But for award-winning actor Kate Winslet, it’s an easy, cheesy choice.
In a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Winslet shared her take on what the “best sandwich” is, and it’s a comforting classic.
“You can’t beat a good grilled cheese,” she says. Yep, the nostalgic grilled cheese sandwich is Winslet’s pick, and we can’t blame her. Crunchy bread with gooey cheese is hard to beat, and you can pair it with a bowl of tomato soup for an ideal rainy day meal.
A grilled cheese sandwich is timeless, and it’s also Nicole Kidman’s pick. However, we all have unique preferences on what makes a perfect grilled cheese. While Kidman loves a bright slice of tomato in hers, Winslet keeps it simple with just cheese—and she goes more in depth about what kind of cheese her sandwich contains.
“It’s got to be a good, sharp Cheddar,” Winslet shares. Cheddar is a chef-approved choice for grilled cheese due to its “flavor-melt ratio.”
When making her sandwich, the Avatar: The Way of Water star says that there’s “definitely butter on the outside,” and she confirms that she leaves the crust on.
Just butter, bread and Cheddar cheese is all it takes to recreate Winslet’s perfect sandwich. But there are many ways to elevate a humble grilled cheese. Include veggies like cabbage or sweet potato or add a sweet twist, like in this highly-rated 5-Ingredient Brie & Blackberry Jam Grilled Cheese.
