Here’s a classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich — golden, crispy on the outside, gooey and melty inside 🥪🧀
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
- 1–2 tablespoons butter, softened
Optional Add-ins:
- Tomato slices
- Cooked bacon
- Caramelized onions
Instructions
- Prep the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Assemble
- Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread (buttered sides face out).
- Add optional ingredients if desired.
- Cook
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place sandwich in the skillet and cook 2–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and cook another 2–4 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
- Serve
- Slice in half and enjoy hot with ketchup, tomato soup, or pickles.
Tips
- Low and slow heat helps melt the cheese without burning the bread.
- Mix cheeses for extra flavor and gooey texture (cheddar + mozzarella works great).
- Press lightly with a spatula while cooking for an even golden crust.
If you want, I can give you a fancy version with multiple cheeses and add-ins like ham, tomato, or caramelized onions.
