I made this for the RSC #11 contest. This certainly isn't a low fat or diet friendly sandwich but it is very indulgent tasting. I grilled mine on my Foreman Grill so that I didn't have to use extra butter and plus I got the nifty grill mark lines :)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Choose a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina. Use thick-cut bread that will hold up to the grilling process.
  • Spread the butter all the way to the edges of the bread: This will help the sandwich brown evenly and prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Grill the sandwich over medium heat: This will help the cheese melt slowly and evenly without burning the bread.
  • Press the sandwich down with a spatula: This will help the cheese melt faster and prevent the sandwich from falling apart.
  • Cook the sandwich until the cheese is melted and gooey and the bread is golden brown: This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Let the sandwich cool for a minute or two before slicing: This will help the cheese set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

A grilled cheese sandwich is a simple but delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both satisfying and comforting. Whether you are looking for a quick lunch or a hearty snack, a grilled cheese sandwich is always a good option. So next time you are looking for something to eat, give this recipe a try.
