Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even toasting of the bread.
- Butter the bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread for a golden crisp texture during cooking.
- Place bread on skillet: Put 4 slices of bread buttered-side down on the preheated skillet to start browning.
- Add cheese: Place one slice of cheese on top of each bread slice in the skillet, allowing it to begin melting.
- Top with bread: Place another slice of bread on top of the cheese, with the buttered side facing up, to form sandwiches.
- Cook first side: Let the sandwiches cook 2 to 4 minutes until the bottom bread is golden brown and the cheese starts melting.
- Flip sandwiches: Carefully flip each sandwich using a spatula to cook the other side evenly.
- Cook second side: Cook for another 2 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted inside.
- Remove and repeat: Take the grilled sandwiches off the skillet, then repeat the cheese adding and cooking process with the remaining ingredients to make the last 2 sandwiches.
- Serve: Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches hot and enjoy their melty, crispy goodness immediately.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of cheese like cheddar, American, or mozzarella for variation.
- For extra flavor, add tomato slices or cooked bacon inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread while ensuring the cheese melts perfectly.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for easy flipping and cleanup.
- Butter can be substituted with margarine or olive oil if preferred.
