Absolutely! Here’s a classic grilled cheese sandwich recipe—crispy on the outside, gooey and melty on the inside.
Ingredients (makes 1 sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1–2 teaspoons butter (softened)
Instructions
1. Prep the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Assemble the sandwich
- Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread (so buttered sides face out).
3. Cook
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook 2–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
4. Serve
- Slice in half and enjoy immediately.
Tips for Perfect Grilled Cheese
- Cheese choice: Cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or American all melt well. Mix cheeses for flavor.
- Low and slow: Medium heat prevents burnt bread and ensures cheese melts fully.
- Add-ins: Tomato slices, cooked bacon, avocado, or caramelized onions take it up a notch.
- Optional: Sprinkle a little garlic powder or paprika on the butter for extra flavor.
If you want, I can also give a fancier pull-apart or stuffed grilled cheese recipe that’s ultra gooey and loaded with extras.
