Here’s how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich—crispy on the outside, melty and gooey inside 🧀🍞
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, brown, or sourdough)
- 2–3 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1–2 tbsp butter (softened)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice
2. Assemble
- Place one slice (butter side down) on a pan
- Add cheese on top
- Cover with the second slice (butter side up)
3. Cook low & slow
- Heat pan on medium-low
- Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden
- Flip and cook the other side until cheese melts
✨ Tips for the best grilled cheese
- Use low heat so cheese melts before bread burns
- Mix cheeses (cheddar + mozzarella = flavor + stretch)
- Press lightly with a spatula for even crisping
🧀 Tasty variations
- Add tomato slices or caramelized onions
- Sprinkle a little garlic powder on the butter
- Add cooked chicken or mushrooms for a fuller meal
🍽️ Serve with
- Tomato soup
- Ketchup or chili sauce
