Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Delicious, melty cheese goodness on grilled bread.
Course Sandwich, Snack
Cuisine American
Keyword Vegetarian
Cook Time 7 minutes
Servings 1
Cost $0.50

Equipment

  • Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in the skillet/griddle: Place the skillet/griddle over medium heat and add the butter.
  • Let the butter melt completely. When the butter begins to sizzle, your pan is hot enough for the sandwich.
  • Spread the butter around the middle of the pan with the spatula.
  • Rub the bread in the butter: Rub the bread in the melted butter. You only need to rub one side.
  • Pile the cheese on the bread: Pile the grated cheese in an even layer over the entire surface of the bread. It’s ok to go right up to the edge.
  • (IF USING THE SKILLET) Cover the pan with a lid. Let the cheese melt until it's almost entirely melted, but you can still see some distinct cheese pieces, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Top the sandwich and flip: Top the sandwich with the other piece of bread (buttered side out). Squish slightly so the top adheres to the melted cheese. Flip the sandwich over.
  • Continue cooking until both sides are toasted: Let the sandwich cook on the other side until toasted golden brown, another Ito 2 minutes. If the first side wasn’t as toasty as you like, flip the sandwich again and toast until golden brown.
  • Transfer to plate: Transfer the sandwich to a plate, cut in half, and eat immediately.
