Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
This classic grilled cheese sandwich is everything you want—crispy on the outside, melty and gooey in the middle, and packed with buttery flavor. A quick and satisfying meal for any day of the week.
- 2 slices of bread white, sourdough, or your favorite type
- 2 to 3 slices of cheese American, cheddar, or a mix
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice, covering edge to edge.
Place one slice butter-side down in a cold skillet. Add cheese, then top with the other slice, butter-side up.
Cook on medium-low for 3–4 minutes. Press gently until golden, then flip.
Cook the second side for 2–3 minutes until crisp and cheese is melted.
Let rest for 1 minute before slicing diagonally.
