Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Here’s a perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe — crispy, golden-brown bread with gooey, melty cheese inside. Simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying.

🧀 Grilled Cheese Sandwich

🔸 Ingredients (for 1 sandwich)

• 2 slices of good-quality bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)

• 2–3 slices of cheese (see options below)

• 1–2 tbsp butter, softened (or mayo for the outside)

🧀 Cheese Options:

• Classic: American, Cheddar, or Swiss

• Melty & Bold: Fontina, Gruyère, Provolone, Mozzarella

• Sharp & Flavorful: Aged Cheddar, Havarti, Pepper Jack

🔹 Instructions

1. Prep the Bread:

   • Spread butter or mayo evenly on one side of each bread slice.

   • Place cheese between the unbuttered sides so the buttered sides face out.

2. Grill It:

   • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

   • Place the sandwich in the pan. Cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden and crisp, and cheese is fully melted.

3. Serve:

   • Let it rest for a minute, then slice in half and enjoy hot.

🥓 Optional Add-ins (Between the Bread):

• Sliced tomatoes

• Cooked bacon or ham

• Caramelized onions

• Pickles or jalapeños

• Pesto or mustard

✅ Tips:

• Low & slow is the key — it lets the cheese melt without burning the bread.

• For extra crunch, sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the outside of the bread while grilling.

• Use a panini press for an even toast and crisp crust.
