Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 11 min total

A classic comfort food: crispy, golden bread with melted, gooey cheese inside. This recipe yields the perfect balance of crunch and creaminess.

Ingredients

• 2 slices sourdough or white bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)

Instructions

1. Butter one side of each bread slice evenly.
2. Place one slice, buttered side down, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Top with cheese slices, then place the second bread slice on top, buttered side up.
4. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until the other side is golden and cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes.
5. Remove from skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then cut diagonally and serve.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt or garlic powder to the butter.
• Serve with tomato soup for a classic pairing.
• Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for enhanced meltiness.
