A classic grilled cheese sandwich with perfectly toasted bread and gooey, melted cheese inside. Simple, comforting, and quick to make, this sandwich is perfect for a snack or light meal.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or your choice)
- 2-3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, or your favorite)
- 1-2 tablespoons of butter (room temperature)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help the bread become crispy and golden when grilled.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the slices of cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread, forming a sandwich with the buttered sides facing outward.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown.
- Flip and cook: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is fully melted and both sides are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your classic grilled cheese sandwich!
