Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Butter the bread

   Spread softened butter evenly all the way to the edges on one side of each bread slice. This ensures even browning with no pale spots.

2. 2

   Heat the pan

   Place a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat and let it warm up for about 1 minute. Medium-low is key — too hot and the bread burns before the cheese melts.

3. 3

   Build the sandwich in the pan

   Lay one bread slice butter-side down in the pan. Lay both cheese slices flat on top, covering the bread completely. Place the second slice butter-side up on top.

4. 4

   Cook the first side

   Cook without pressing down for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is deep golden brown. Peek by lifting a corner — it should look like toasted bread, not pale yellow.

5. 5

   Flip and finish

   Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the second side for another 2 minutes until equally golden and the cheese is fully melted and gooey throughout.

6. 6

   Rest and slice

   Slide onto a cutting board and let it sit for 30 seconds so the cheese sets just slightly. Cut diagonally corner to corner for the best cheese pull.
