Here’s a classic grilled cheese sandwich 🥪—crispy on the outside, gooey and melty on the inside.
Ingredients (1 sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1–2 tsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Prep the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwich
- Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread (so the buttered sides face out).
- Cook
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Cook 2–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Press lightly with a spatula for even browning.
- Serve
- Cut diagonally and serve hot with soup, pickles, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips & Variations
- Extra gooey: Add a slice of mozzarella with cheddar.
- Crispier crust: Cook on low-medium heat and cover the skillet for a minute.
- Add-ins: Tomato slices, bacon, or caramelized onions.
- Healthier version: Use whole-grain bread and reduced-fat cheese.
If you want, I can give a fancy version like garlic butter grilled cheese or triple-cheese stuffed sandwich that’s extra decadent.
Do you want me to do that?
