Here’s a simple and delicious grilled cheese recipe!
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (your choice: white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons of butter (softened)
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, or a blend)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread:
- Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly. Make sure the butter is soft enough to spread easily, so it coats the bread well without tearing it.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
- Layer your cheese slices on top of the bread. Use enough cheese to cover the bread well, but not too much that it overflows when grilling.
- Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Once it’s hot, place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-4 minutes, until it’s golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve:
- Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute before slicing, to avoid the cheese spilling out too quickly.
Optional Add-ins:
- Tomato slices: Add a slice of tomato inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Bacon: Add crispy bacon for a savory twist.
- Garlic butter: Use garlic butter instead of plain butter for extra flavor.
