Grilled Cheese Ingredients

Method

Grilled Cheese Instructions

  1. 1

    Butter the bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each bread slice to create a crisp, golden crust.

  2. 2

    Assemble the sandwich

    Place cheddar cheese slices between the bread slices on the unbuttered sides, forming a classic cheese sandwich with the buttered sides on the outside.

  3. 3

    Preheat the pan

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Cook first side

    Place the sandwich in the skillet with the buttered sides facing out. Cook until the bottom bread is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip and finish

    Carefully flip the sandwich and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the pan, let rest for 1 minute, slice in half, and serve immediately.
