Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Your Ingredients

    Collect all the ingredients listed for the grilled cheese sandwich and the optional side of your choice.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help create a golden-brown crust.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 slices of American cheese on top, and then cover with another slice of bread, butter side up.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sandwich

    Cook for about 2-4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.

  3. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Cook the other side for an additional 2-4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before cutting.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Sides

    Slice the grilled cheese sandwich in half and serve it with your choice of tomato soup, carrot sticks, or apple slices.
