Here’s a classic grilled cheese sandwich recipe—crispy, golden, and perfectly gooey inside:
🥪 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2–3 slices of cheese or ½ cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, American, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1–2 Tbsp butter, softened
Optional extras: tomato slices, cooked bacon, caramelized onions, or avocado
Steps
- Prep the Bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Assemble the Sandwich
- Place the cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread (buttered sides facing out).
- Cook
- Heat a skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Place sandwich in the pan and cook 2–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve
- Slice in half and serve hot.
Tips
- Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavor (e.g., Cheddar + mozzarella).
- Cover the pan for 1–2 minutes to help the cheese melt evenly.
- Add garlic powder or herbs to the butter for a flavorful crust.
