Perfect Grilled Cheese with Harrison Ford’s Twist

Grilled cheese is one of life’s simple pleasures. But leave it to Harrison Ford — yes, that Harrison Ford — to add one unexpected ingredient that changes everything: Worcestershire sauce.

His son, chef Ben Ford, revealed this savory secret, and once you try it, there’s no going back.

Why It Works

• Crunchy, golden bread

• Melty, bold cheddar

• Tomato for freshness

• Worcestershire for that umami pop

This sandwich is comfort food that got a degree in flavor science.
