Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 slice cheddar cheese
  • 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter softened

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Butter knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the bread
  1. I start by spreading softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This is what gives you that golden, crispy crust you’re looking for.

Step 2: Assemble the sandwich
  1. Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a cutting board. I layer the American cheese and cheddar cheese evenly, then top it with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

Step 3: Toast the sandwich
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and gently place the sandwich in the pan. I let it cook slowly so the bread crisps up while the cheese melts perfectly.

Step 4: Flip and finish
  1. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until it’s golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Remove from heat, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

I love serving this grilled cheese with a warm bowl of tomato soup or crispy fries.
