The Quest for The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

This is the simplest form of my grilled cheese sandwich; I play with different types of cheese combinations. I love eating grilled cheese sandwiches with a little ketchup on the side; Maggi’s Hot and Sweet is my favorite.

  • Yield: 1

Ingredients

2 slices sandwich bread

2 slices or ¼ cup grated cheese such as American cheese, cheddar, gruyere, gouda, Havarti, pepper jack

2 Tbsp mayonnaise or butter

Instructions

Heat a grill pan, griddle, or skillet over medium-low heat. Lay a slice of bread down and place the cheese on top. Top with the second slice of bread. Butter the outside of each bread slice with mayonnaise or butter, 1 Tbsp per side. Cook, occasionally pressing down gently with a spatula on each side to help compress the sandwich. Flip the sandwich after the bread gets crisp, toasted, and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve warm.
