🧀🍞 Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A warm, crispy, melty comfort classic made with golden toasted bread and gooey melted cheese inside.
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2–3 slices cheese (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1–2 tbsp butter (softened)
Optional add-ins
- Tomato slices 🍅
- Ham or chicken 🥩
- Mustard or mayo
- Garlic powder or black pepper
🍳 Instructions
1. Prep bread
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
2. Assemble
Place cheese between the unbuttered sides of bread.
Add optional fillings if using.
3. Cook
Heat a pan over medium heat.
Place sandwich in pan and cook for 2–4 minutes per side until:
- Bread is golden brown
- Cheese is fully melted
Press lightly with a spatula for even crispiness.
4. Serve
Let rest 1 minute, then slice and enjoy while hot and gooey.
💡 Tips
- Low heat = better cheese melt without burning bread
- Mix cheeses for extra flavor and stretch
- Add a thin layer of mayo on the outside for extra crispiness
- Pair with tomato soup for a classic combo 🍅🥣
