Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 ounces sliced melting cheese (about 2 slices), such as American, Cheddar, muenster, Havarti, Swiss, fontina, Mozzarella, Monterey jack, pepper jack, provolone
2 slices bread, such as white, rye, brioche, sourdough, potato, whole wheat, pumpernickel
1 tablespoon fat, such as mayonnaise, butter or olive, chili or coconut oil

Steps:

Oven method (great for a crowd of six or fewer): Put a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Make one sandwich per person: Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat. Place on the preheated baking sheet and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich and bake until golden brown, an additional 5 minutes.
Panini press method (for crispy crunchy sandwich that needs minimal attention): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a panini press to medium heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and place in the press. Close the top and cook until lightly browned and the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes.
Skillet method (fool-proof and low-tech): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, and continue cooking until browned and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Great combos:
1. Pepper jack and sourdough, brushed with chili oil
2. American and white bread, brushed with butter
3. Swiss and rye, brushed with mayo
4. Cheddar and brioche, brushed with butter

GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY

Grilled Cheese Recipe by Tasty image

The secret to a perfect grilled cheese recipe? Mayonnaise! (No, really, it makes the outside crispier and tangier.) Spread butter on one side of each bread slice and mayo on the other. Sandwich the cheddar slices between the buttered sides, leaving the mayo sides on the outside. Fry for a few minutes until golden, dip into a bowl of tomato soup, and resolve to never make a grilled cheese without mayo ever again!

Tips for the Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Use high-quality bread. Choose a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the heat of the grill without getting soggy. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or whole wheat bread.
Butter the bread generously. This will help the bread to brown and crisp up nicely.
Use a variety of cheeses. Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of cheeses to create a unique and flavorful sandwich. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, and Gruyère.
Add other ingredients. Feel free to add other ingredients to your grilled cheese sandwich, such as bacon, ham, tomatoes, or avocado. Just be sure not to overload the sandwich, or it will be difficult to grill.
Grill the sandwich over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from melting too quickly.
Cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve the sandwich immediately. Grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
