Ah yes! 🥪 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches — classic comfort food, melty, golden, and super easy. Here’s a foolproof recipe:
🧀 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
⏱ Time
- Prep: 5 minutes
- Cook: 5–7 minutes
🥖 Ingredients (for 1 sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1–2 tsp butter (softened)
Optional extras:
- Tomato slices, cooked bacon, caramelized onions, avocado, or a sprinkle of herbs
🥣 Instructions
1. Butter the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice.
- The buttered sides will face out when cooking.
2. Assemble the sandwich
- Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread.
- Add optional extras if desired.
3. Cook
- Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the pan, buttered side down.
- Cook 2–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Press gently with a spatula for even cooking.
4. Serve
- Remove from pan, slice, and enjoy warm.
- Serve with soup, pickles, or your favorite dipping sauce.
✨ Tips for perfection
- Low and slow: Medium heat ensures cheese melts before the bread burns.
- Cheese combo: Mixing cheddar + mozzarella gives flavor + stretch.
- Crispier crust: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt or garlic powder on the butter.
- Oven option: Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 10–12 minutes if cooking multiple sandwiches.
