Here’s a classic, melty Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe — simple, crispy, and perfectly gooey.
🥪 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2–3 slices of cheese (Cheddar, American, or your favorite)
- 1–2 tbsp butter, softened
- Optional: tomato slices, cooked bacon, or avocado
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Bread
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place the buttered side down on a skillet when cooking.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwich
- Layer cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread.
- Add optional fillings like tomato or bacon if desired.
3️⃣ Cook
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down.
- Cook 2–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side until cheese is melted and bread is golden.
4️⃣ Serve
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
- Perfect with tomato soup or a side salad.
💡 Tips
- Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavor and gooeyness.
- Cover the skillet with a lid for 1–2 minutes to help cheese melt evenly.
- Don’t use too high heat — bread will burn before cheese melts.
- For crispy edges, sprinkle a little grated cheese on the outside before grilling.
