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.

Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

  • 2 slices sturdy whole wheat bread
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
