Sandwich

Method

Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Lay out 2 slices of bread on a clean cutting board.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of one of the slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Top and Butter

    Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the top slice of bread.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich butter-side down into the skillet.

  5. 5

    Cook Until Golden

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Spread the remaining butter on the top slice of bread.

  6. 6

    Flip and Grill

    Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut it in half and set aside.

Fries

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen fries package, typically around 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Fries

    In a mixing bowl, toss the frozen French fries with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 10

    Bake Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.

  4. 11

    Check for Crispiness

    Bake until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.

  5. 12

    Serve Together

    Serve the grilled cheese sandwich alongside the crispy fries on a plate.
