# Expert Advice:

01 -

The honey creates these gorgeous crispy caramelized spots on the bread that you cannot get from plain butter
You get this perfect balance where the sweetness tames the chipotle heat just enough to keep you coming back for another bite
Takes literally eighteen minutes from start to finish but tastes like something from a fancy restaurant

02 -

Low and slow wins the race here, high heat will burn the honey before the cheese melts
Letting the sandwiches rest for one minute after cooking prevents all that molten cheese from oozing out when you cut them

03 -

Make a double batch of the honey chipotle butter and keep it in your fridge for instant flavor on everything from toast to roasted vegetables
If your bread is getting stale, let the assembled sandwiches sit uncovered for ten minutes before grilling, this actually helps them crisp up better
