Why this works
- Heat control is the whole lesson here, not the ingredients. Low, steady heat gives the cheese time to fully melt before the bread burns. Rush it on high heat and you get the opposite: a scorched crust with a cold, unmelted centre.
- The same patient, even heat works for anything cooked directly in a dry or lightly oiled pan, from pancakes to quesadillas.
