How do I make grilled cheese more interesting?

Other than wrapping it with bacon? Add items to your grilled cheese like avocado, onions (raw and sauteed), tomatoes, peppers, spinach, arugula are some good choices. You could also change up the bread or change up the cheese.

What is a good cheese to use for grilled cheese?

My favs are American, cheddar and muenster. However, Provolone and Swiss work too.

Is mayo or butter better for grilled cheese?

I think this will be a personal preference. I like butter on the outside of the bread and mayo on the inside. But, for this, you could put mayo or butter on the inside and leave the outside alone.
