Why Harrison Ford Loves It
Harrison Ford’s love for smoked paprika stems from its ability to enhance flavors without overpowering them. He believes food should tell a story—and this grilled cheese does just that: simple ingredients elevated by thoughtful touches like the paprika and slow-cooked technique.
Tips for Success
- Bread Selection : Opt for slightly denser breads like sourdough or brioche for structure and flavor. Avoid overly soft bread, which may fall apart during cooking.
- Cheese Meltdown : For extra gooeyness, use a combination of cheeses—sharp cheddar for tang, Gruyère for nuttiness, or mozzarella for stretchiness.
- Paprika Power : Don’t overdo the smoked paprika; a light dusting is all you need to bring out its smoky aroma.
