Description
A timeless classic! This Grilled Cheese Sandwich features buttery golden bread and perfectly melted cheese — simple comfort food that always hits the spot. Ready in minutes using just a skillet!
Ingredients
Bread and Butter
- 2 slices sandwich bread (sourdough or white recommended)
- 1–2 tbsp softened butter (or mayo)
Cheese
- 2–3 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread butter on one side of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up, which will help evenly toast the bread without burning.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet, add the cheese slices on top, and then cover with the second slice of bread butter-side up.
- Grill the sandwich: Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted inside.
- Serve: Remove from skillet, slice if desired, and serve warm for the best comforting experience.
Notes
- Mayo instead of butter gives ultra-crispy edges.
- Mix cheese types for extra flavor — cheddar + mozzarella is a favorite.
- Add-ins: tomato slices, caramelized onions, cooked bacon, or spinach.
- Use low heat if cheese isn’t melting fast enough.
