Description
This classic grilled cheese sandwich is crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and packed with buttery, cheesy goodness. Perfect for a quick lunch, an easy dinner, or a comforting late-night snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese like American, Swiss, or mozzarella)
Instructions
- Butter the bread: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread so the buttered sides face outward.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve hot: Slice in half and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Want extra crispy bread? Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan on the buttered sides before grilling.
- Add-ins like tomato slices, bacon, or caramelized onions make for a fun twist!
