🥪 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (serves 1–2)

- 1–2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Prep the bread

💡 Tips for Perfect Grilled Cheese
- Low to medium heat ensures melted cheese without burning bread.
- Cover the pan briefly if cheese melts slowly.
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of garlic powder, tomato slices, or bacon.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations (cheddar + mozzarella is amazing).
🌟 Variations
- Gourmet: Gruyère + caramelized onions
