Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Sides

Method

Grilled Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Take two slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each slice.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread. Top it with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Flip and Finish

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and grill the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese has melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Set aside.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sides

    Measure out 1 cup of Craisins and place them in a small bowl or on a plate.

  2. 7

    Serve with Water

    Open a bottle of water and serve it alongside the grilled cheese sandwich and Craisins.
