Cheddar grilled cheese sandwich

A Cheddar grilled cheese sandwich is a timeless classic that's quick and easy to prepare. Using whole-wheat bread, sharp cheddar cheese, and salted butter, this recipe offers a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even a snack.

Ingredients:

2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g
1 slice cheddar cheese
27g
1 tbsp salted butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
Gather two slices of whole-wheat bread, a slice of cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon of salted butter.
2. Butter the Bread:
Using a knife, spread an even layer of the salted butter on one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread. Make sure you cover the entire surface to ensure a crispy, golden crust.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
Place one buttered slice of bread, butter side down, onto a cutting board or plate. Lay the slice of cheddar cheese on top of this bread. Then place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese, butter side up.
4. Preheat the Pan:
Set a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a couple of minutes to ensure even cooking.
5. Grill the Sandwich:
Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the preheated pan. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently press the sandwich down for even browning.
6. Flip and Cook the Other Side:
Once the first side is golden brown, use the spatula to carefully flip the sandwich over. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
7. Check for Done-ness:
Ensure both sides are crispy and the cheddar cheese is gooey and melted. If needed, lower the heat slightly and cook a bit longer to achieve the perfect melted center.
8. Serve:
Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing diagonally for easy handling.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier spreading on the bread slices.

- For a crisper texture, you can also use a preheated skillet or griddle set to medium heat.

- Pressing the sandwich lightly with a spatula while it's cooking can help achieve a uniform golden-brown crust.

- For extra flavor, consider adding thin slices of tomato or a few leaves of fresh basil before grilling.

By following these simple steps, you can create a delicious Cheddar grilled cheese sandwich that's crispy on the outside and irresistibly gooey on the inside. Perfect for any time of day, this classic sandwich is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
