Here’s a perfectly crispy, melty Grilled Cheese Sandwich 🧀🥪 — simple but absolutely delicious.
Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Serves: 1 (easily double or triple)
Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 slices sandwich bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or about ½ cup shredded)
- 1–2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
1️⃣ Butter the Bread
Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
2️⃣ Assemble
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat.
Add cheese on top.
Place the second slice on top, butter-side up.
3️⃣ Cook
Cook 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip carefully and cook another 2–4 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
4️⃣ Serve
Remove from pan, let sit 1 minute, then slice and enjoy.
Tips for the Best Grilled Cheese
- Use medium heat — too high burns the bread before cheese melts.
- Cover the pan briefly to help cheese melt faster.
- Mix cheeses (cheddar + mozzarella or Gruyère) for extra flavor.
- Add tomato slices, bacon, or caramelized onions for a gourmet twist.
If you’d like, I can also share a crispy air fryer version or a garlic butter grilled cheese upgrade.
