Standard is butter side down. It's on the recipe card

Honestly whatever side it lands on the paper depending on how busy it is

I do buttery side down because it makes it crispy and its called crispy grilled cheese and i like it crispy

Butter side down is standard

Soooo

There's two types of grilled cheese sandwiches depending on your district and distribution, the core (regular green label) which is butter side down, and the Mercado (fancier label and I believe in certain reserve stores) is butter side up.

Context: I was a former partner and was about to fight my SM in the streets until they brought it up on the main dashboard on the SM computer.

P.S.: if you're feeling fancy, do the GC butter side down on regular, then immediately flip over and run again on butter croissant! You're welcome in advance.

I do buttery side down because that’s how you would cook one at home

For ours at least it says on the bag to warm butter side down

I always do butter on the bottom because thats what people on this sub say tastes better but honestly who knows. I do not think there is a specific standard on this but I could be wrong.

As an avid grilled cheese eater it’s an absolute must to put it butter side down.

If it’s bitter side up, it becomes COMPLETELY soiled with butter.
Butter side down crisps the edges, gives it that nice salty taste. Plus it’s standard

At first I didn’t realize this was a Starbucks group and I was like “all of you are only putting butter on one side of your grilled cheese? How are you not absolutely burning it?” I was expecting a butter vs. mayo debate.

Butter side down. I also do it on two parchments bc less grease overflow that way

Butter side down, you can tell because it makes the bread turn a golden amber color. When it’s butter side up, it’s just soggy butter bread, where the bottom might get a few specks of darkness but for the most part it’s just melted butter cheese stick bread.

Cook it butter side down till 30 seconds to go then flip it over and you will have a nice crispy buttery grilled cheese on both sides thank you you’re welcome

Butter down. The bread actually cooks like that, otherwise both sides are squishy and blegh

I do butter side up bc it drips less oil lmao I’ve been burned too many times by the grease

idk if it’s correct officially, but in my HEART butter side down is correct 😩

Butter side up lol because it doesn't spill as much and I have hot oil scars, fuck the recipe card. I've never seen anyone do it the other way. This seems to be a reddit thing tbh

Wait theres a standard way of doing this?

I use salted butter and I put it on the side that it gets browned. And then I flip it again both sides get warmed and when I do I flip it again to have it brown more and I break up the cheese into 3 pieces and put it in there and wait till it gets nice and toasty brown

Butter side down, but if I’m making it for myself I do open faced 👹

Instructions are right on the bag if I remember correctly

butter side down! that makes it crispyyyy

Butter side down. And god help your forearm when you pull it out and it’s spitting hot oil at you.

unrelated to the post but all of y’all try your grilled cheeses cooked open faced!!! changed my life

My store does butter up
