A grilled cheese sandwich is a simple, classic sandwich consisting of cheese melted between two slices of bread, typically cooked on a stovetop until the bread is toasted and the cheese is gooey. It's a popular comfort food, known for its crispy, buttery exterior and melty, cheesy interior.
🧂Ingredients
4 slices of white bread
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 slices Cheddar cheese
👋How to Make the Best Grilled Cheese
Butter the bread on one side and place the bread butter-side down on a hot skillet.
Top with cheese, then place another slice of bread on top (butter-side up).
Cook until the bottom slice is lightly browned, then flip.
Continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
