Yield Makes 1 awesome sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 slices Pullman or other white bread
A dab of butter
Mayonnaise
A few slices American cheese or cheddar
Pepper

Steps:

  • Place 2 slices Pullman or other white bread on a cutting board and spread mayonnaise on top side of each; this is key to a golden, delectable crunch. Heat a small skillet (nonstick, ideally) over medium. Slide in a dab of butter. When it melts, place 1 slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, in skillet; top with a few slices American cheese or cheddar; season with pepper. Top with second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. When underside is golden brown, about 4 minutes, turn sandwich and add another dab of butter to skillet. Press down on sandwich to encourage even browning and to help melt cheese-be gentle, don't smash it. Cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is melted. Eat immediately, preferably with Campbell's Tomato Soup.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread. A good, sturdy bread will hold up better to the heat and cheese than a flimsy one.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses to find your favorite combination.
  • Spread the butter or mayonnaise all the way to the edges of the bread. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from overcooking.
  • Flip the sandwich halfway through cooking. This will ensure that both sides are cooked evenly.
  • Let the sandwich cool for a minute or two before slicing. This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Conclusion:

There you have it! These are just a few tips for making the best grilled cheese sandwich ever. With a little practice, you'll be able to create a sandwich that is perfectly golden brown and cheesy. So what are you waiting for? Get grilling!
