Ahhh, the classic cheese sandwich 🥪🧀 — simple, comforting, and endlessly customizable. Let’s break it down:
🥪 Basic Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (1 sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or rye)
- 1–2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, American, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- Butter or margarine (optional, for grilling)
Instructions
Cold Cheese Sandwich
- Place cheese slices between two slices of bread.
- Optional: Add extras like lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickles, or mustard.
- Cut and serve.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- Butter the outside of each slice of bread.
- Place cheese between the unbuttered sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Grill sandwich 2–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Slice and enjoy warm.
🔥 Variations
- Add veggies: Tomato, spinach, or avocado
- Spicy kick: Jalapeños or sriracha
- Extra melty: Mix cheeses (cheddar + mozzarella)
- Deluxe: Add ham, bacon, or turkey
💡 Tips
