Easy Grilled Cheese
Grilled to golden perfection, my Grilled Cheese sandwich oozes with sharp cheddar, while an optional slice of tomato adds a tangy twist. Experience a homey classic that's equal parts comforting and satisfyingly indulgent. This is simplicity at its tastiest!
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread (white, wheat or sourdough)
- 4 slices cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, Gouda or combination)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 slices tomatoes (thin, optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- 2
Lay out the slices of bread on a cutting board or flat surface. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- 3
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the preheated skillet or griddle.
- 4
Place one slice of cheese on each slice of bread in the skillet. Arrange 2-3 thin tomato slices on top of the cheese on each sandwich.
- 5
Top each sandwich with another slice of cheese, then place the remaining slices of bread on top, with the buttered side facing up.
- 6
Cook the sandwiches on medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches over with a spatula and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- 7
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet or griddle and let them rest for a minute or two before cutting them in half. Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches hot and enjoy!
