Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or white work well)
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 2–3 slices of good-quality cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, or a mix)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (for extra golden crisp)
  • Optional add-ins: tomato slices, cooked bacon, or caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Prep the bread: Spread the softened butter on one side of each bread slice. If you like, spread a thin layer of mayo on the outside instead of butter for extra crispiness.
  2. Assemble: Place cheese slices between the bread, keeping the buttered sides facing out. Add any extras like tomato or bacon, if desired.
  3. Grill: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula for even toasting.
  4. Finish: Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove from the pan. Let it rest for a minute, then slice in half and enjoy hot!
