Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Cream
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk. Heat over medium heat until just warm. Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Butter the Bread
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outside of the sandwich.
Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a skillet over medium heat. Layer the American cheese on top, then cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Grill the Sandwich
Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Once grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Cut it in half and serve hot alongside the homemade cream and your choice of small drink.
