Here’s a perfectly crispy, golden Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe — simple and classic 🧀
Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (makes 1 sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or about ½ cup shredded cheese)
- 1–2 tablespoons butter (softened)
Instructions
- Butter the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwich
- Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a skillet.
- Add cheese on top.
- Cover with the second slice, butter-side up.
- Cook low and slow
- Heat skillet over medium-low.
- Cook 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip carefully and cook another 2–4 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are crisp.
- Serve immediately
- Let sit 1 minute, slice, and enjoy.
🔥 Tips for the Best Grilled Cheese
- Cook on medium-low heat to melt cheese fully without burning bread.
- Mix cheeses (cheddar + mozzarella or Swiss) for extra melt and flavor.
- Add-ins: tomato slices, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, or a thin layer of mustard.
