The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices Bread
  • 3 slices Cheese Or use shredded cheese, enough to cover the inside of the bread.
  • 2 tbsp Salted Butter

Method
 

  1. Grab your ingredients and organize your cheese of choice in an even layer between two slices of bread.
  2. Butter the top slice of bread and place in a non-stick pan over medium low to medium heat with the butter side facing down. (I find with sourdough I cook on medium and it's fine, with white bread I usually cook one less than medium but this depends on your stovetop, what pan you are using, and the bread you are using)
  3. Let cook for about 5-7 minutes if using sourdough bread, and about 3-5 minutes if using something less sturdy like white bread. (Please keep a close eye and check on it's level of doneness several times throughout cooking so you don't overcook or undercook it)
  4. While the first side is cooking, carefully butter the top slice of bread.
  5. Once the bottom is golden brown and the top side is buttered, flip over and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 3-5 minutes.
  6. Adjust heat if needed.
  7. Remove from pan, cut and enjoy.

Notes

Soften your butter for a few seconds in the microwave to help it spread easier.
Keep a close eye on grilled cheese to keep from overcooking.
You may need to adjust heat depending on type of pan and type of bread.
