Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recip
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of thick bread (sourdough, white, or your favorite variety)
- 2-3 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1-2 tablespoons of butter (softened)
- Optional:
- A sprinkle of garlic powder
- A dash of hot sauce
- A slice of tomato or caramelized onions for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prep the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. If you want extra flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder onto the butter.
- Add the Cheese: Place the cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread. If you want to add extra tomatoes or onions, place them in the middle of the cheese layers.
- Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, place the sandwich, buttered side down, in the pan. Cook for about 2-4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula until the bottom slice is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the sandwich and continue cooking until the second side is crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan, let it cool slightly, slice it in half, and enjoy!
Try adding different cheeses, herbs, or spreads like pesto or mustard for an extra twist. This simple yet satisfying sandwich is perfect for any occasion!
