Grilled Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Pan

    Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to heat up for about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Add 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top, then place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown.

  5. 5

    Remove and Slice

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half diagonally.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    While the sandwich is grilling, prepare the frozen french fries according to the package instructions, usually baking or frying.

  2. 7

    Season the Fries

    Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven or fryer and sprinkle with salt to taste.

  3. 8

    Serve with Ketchup

    Serve the fries hot with ketchup on the side for dipping.
