Here’s a classic grilled cheese sandwich recipe—crispy, gooey, and perfect every time 🥪🧀
🧈 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (per sandwich)
- 2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2–3 slices cheese (American, cheddar, or your favorite meltable cheese)
- 1–2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep Bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
2️⃣ Assemble Sandwich
- Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of bread, so the buttered sides are on the outside.
3️⃣ Cook
- Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place sandwich in skillet and cook 2–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip carefully and cook another 2–4 minutes until the other side is golden and cheese is melted.
4️⃣ Serve
- Slice diagonally and serve hot.
- Optional: add tomato, bacon, or avocado for a twist.
✨ Tips
- Even melting: cover pan with a lid for a minute to help cheese melt.
- Crispier bread: use mayonnaise instead of butter for the outside.
- Cheese combo: cheddar + mozzarella or gouda for gooeyness and flavor.
- Add-ons: sautéed onions, spinach, or ham make it gourmet.
