Indulge in the perfect combination of sweet and savory with this delightful mozzarella grilled cheese recipe. This easy-to-make sandwich combines the richness of mozzarella cheese with the subtle sweetness of brown sugar, all nestled between two slices of whole-wheat bread for a healthier twist.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 2 teaspoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar.
- Slice 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese if not pre-sliced.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar on the buttered side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a non-stick skillet.
- Arrange the mozzarella cheese slices evenly on top of the bread in the skillet.
- Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
- Preheat the skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the assembled sandwich into the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey inside.
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Allow it to cool slightly before slicing it in half for easier handling and presentation.
- Serve immediately while warm to appreciate the delightful combination of sweet brown sugar and savory melted mozzarella cheese.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is softened before spreading it on the bread to achieve an even and consistent coating.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the bread from sticking and to achieve a perfectly golden-brown crust.
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of herbs such as basil or oregano to the cheese before grilling.
- Cook the sandwich on medium-low heat to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly without burning the bread.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally for a visually appealing presentation and easier handling.
