Ingredients
Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need to make a delicious crispy grilled cheese sandwich:
– 2 slices of bread (your choice of bread, such as sourdough, whole wheat, or white)
– 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
– 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine
– Salt and pepper (optional)
– A non-stick skillet or frying pan
– A spatula
Instructions
1. Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. You want the pan to be hot enough to create a nice crust on the bread but not so hot that it burns the cheese.
2. Prepare the bread: Lightly toast one side of each bread slice if desired. This step is optional but can add extra flavor and texture to your sandwich.
3. Butter the bread: Spread a thin layer of butter or margarine on one side of each bread slice. Make sure to cover the entire surface, as this will help the bread become crispy.
4. Season the cheese: If you like, sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the cheese slices. This will enhance the flavors of the sandwich.
5. Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of cheese on the buttered side of one bread slice. Top it with the other bread slice, buttered side down.
6. Grill the sandwich: Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
7. Serve: Once the sandwich is crispy and the cheese is melted, carefully remove it from the skillet and serve immediately. You can cut the sandwich in half for easier eating, if desired.
