Hereβs a classic, melty grilled cheese sandwich recipe β simple, crispy, and golden π₯ͺπ§
π₯ͺ Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
π§Ύ Ingredients (Serves 1β2)
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)
- 2β3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or a mix)
- 1β2 tbsp butter, softened
Optional Add-ins:
- Tomato slices
- Cooked bacon
- Caramelized onions
- Avocado
π₯ Instructions
1. Butter the Bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Assemble
- Place 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 2β4 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.
π‘ Tips for Perfect Grilled Cheese
- Cook low and slow: medium heat ensures the bread browns without leaving cold cheese.
- Cover the pan briefly to help melt the cheese faster.
- Mix cheeses for extra flavor and gooeyness (cheddar + mozzarella is perfect).
I can also give you a gourmet version with caramelized onions, herbs, or bacon if you want a fancier twist.
