Here’s a classic, melty, perfectly crisp grilled cheese sandwich recipe 🥪🧈
🥪 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)
- 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or a mix)
- 1–2 tbsp butter, softened
Optional Add-ins:
- Tomato slices
- Cooked bacon
- Caramelized onions
- Avocado
🔥 Instructions
1. Butter the Bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
2. Assemble
- Place the cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread so the buttered sides face out.
3. Grill
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Cook 2–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve
- Slice diagonally and enjoy hot.
- Optional: Serve with tomato soup or pickles.
💡 Tips for Perfect Grilled Cheese
- Low and slow: Medium heat ensures the bread browns without the cheese staying cold.
- Use a lid briefly to help melt the cheese faster.
- Mix cheeses for extra flavor and gooeyness (cheddar + mozzarella works great).
I can also give you variations like:
- Gourmet grilled cheese (with caramelized onions & herbs)
- Spicy grilled cheese (with jalapeños)
- Panini-style (pressed and crisp)
- Breakfast grilled cheese (with egg & bacon)
