- 4 slices bread Your choice, e.g., white or whole grain.
- 4 slices cheese E.g., cheddar, American, or mozzarella.
- 4 tablespoons butter Or enough to spread on the bread.
Heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread in the skillet, buttered side down.
Lay two slices of cheese on top of the bread in the skillet.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the cheese, buttered side up.
Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the bottom bread is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to check.
Carefully flip the sandwiches over and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Once done, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half.
Feel free to add extras like sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or herbs to personalize your grilled cheese sandwich.
Grilling on low heat may take longer but can create a perfectly melted interior without burning the bread.
