Experience the ultimate comfort food with this gooey grilled cheese sandwich, featuring perfectly melted cheese and a crispy, golden crust.

  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 1

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and slice the bread and cheese evenly.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Generously butter one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Place one slice, butter-side down, in the skillet. Layer with cheese, then top with the second slice, butter-side up.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and both sides are crisp.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread to prevent sogginess.
  •  Try mixing different cheeses like gouda or Monterey Jack for added flavor.
  •  Add extras like tomatoes or spinach for a gourmet twist.
