Method

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat to preheat while you prepare the sandwich.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

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

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Layer with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, then top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Remove and Slice

    Once grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into halves or quarters for easy handling.
