Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Step 1

Place 2 slices medium cheddar cheese and 1 slice American cheese on a piece of bread. Then, cover it with a second slice of bread, forming a sandwich.

Step 2

Use ½ TBS butter to butter the outside of each outer face of bread on the sandwich (so 1 TBS butter per sandwich, half per side).

Step 3

Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second sandwich.

Step 4

Place both sandwiches in a large skillet.

Step 5

Turn the heat on to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook on medium-low for 5-10 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden-brown.

Step 6

Flip sandwich over and continue cooking an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden-brown and the cheese is melted. Note: the second side will cook faster since the skillet will be heated up by the time you flip the sandwich over.

Step 7

Remove from pan and serve immediately.
