Description
A classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich featuring melted cheese between buttery toasted slices of bread, perfect for a quick and comforting meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
Cheese
- 3 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite melting cheese)
Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice to ensure a crispy, golden exterior when cooked.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up for even cooking.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer the cheese slices evenly on top of this bread slice.
- Top the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese, buttered side facing up.
- Cook the sandwich: Cook for 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Rest and serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispy bread, use mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside of the slices.
- Try mixing cheeses for a more complex flavor—cheddar, mozzarella, and gouda make a great combination!
- Cook on low-medium heat to ensure the cheese melts fully without burning the bread.
- Add extras like cooked bacon, sliced tomatoes, or caramelized onions for a gourmet twist.
