The Classic Grilled Cheese Recipe
This recipe focuses on achieving the perfect balance: a crunchy, golden exterior and a rich, stretchy cheese center.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 4 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or sandwich bread)
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- Optional: a pinch of salt or garlic powder
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the bread
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This ensures a crisp, golden crust. - Assemble the sandwich
Place two slices of bread butter-side down in a pan or on a baking tray. Add the cheese slices evenly, then top with the remaining bread, butter-side up. - Cook slowly for perfect melting
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwich for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula. Slow cooking allows the cheese to melt fully without burning the bread. Oven option (as shown in the image):
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–12 minutes, flipping once, until golden and bubbly. - Check for doneness
The bread should be crisp and deep golden, and the cheese fully melted and slightly oozing. - Serve immediately
Cut in half and enjoy while hot.
