Method

Preparing the Grilled Cheese

  1. 1

    Butter the Bread

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer with two slices of American cheese or two slices of sharp cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add Salt

    Sprinkle a little salt on the grilled cheese sandwich for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Cut and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it in half, and serve warm.

Serving the Sides

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sides

    While the sandwich is grilling, prepare your sides. Place 1 cup of potato chips and 1 cup of apple slices on a plate.
