Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Crispy, Gooey, Perfect

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.

Step 3: Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, onto the skillet. Layer with cheese slices, then top with the second bread slice, butter-side up.

Step 4: Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.

Storage Information

Grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, wrap them in foil and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for the best crispy texture — avoid microwaving, as it may make the bread soggy.
