– Salt (optional)
– Pepper (optional)
Instructions
Creating the perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich involves a few simple steps:
1. Choose Your Bread: Select your favorite type of bread. Sourdough and whole wheat are popular choices.
2. Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden crust.
3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet. Layer cheese on top, adding more if desired. Then, add the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
4. Heat on Medium: Place the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown.
5. Flip Carefully: Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich to cook the other side. Press down slightly to ensure the cheese melts evenly.
6. Check for Doneness: Keep cooking for an additional 2-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melty.
7. Remove and Slice: Once done, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Allow it to cool for a minute, then cut it diagonally for serving.
8. Add Seasoning (optional): Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper for extra flavor if desired.
These straightforward steps will guide you on your way to a deliciously satisfying grilled cheese sandwich!
