Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Description
The Grilled Cheese Sandwich is prepared by spreading mayonnaise on slices of bread, which helps achieve a crisp, evenly browned surface when cooked on a griddle or skillet. Cheddar cheese slices are placed on the underside of the bread, which is then topped with another slice to form a sandwich.
The sandwich is cooked over medium heat for approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side, allowing the bread to toast to a golden color while the cheddar melts smoothly inside. Mayo as a coating provides a different texture and flavor contrast compared to butter or oil.
This sandwich is best served warm, offering a satisfying combination of crunchy bread and gooey cheese. It pairs well as a quick meal or snack, suitable alongside soups or salads.
Ingredients
- 6 lices bread your favorite type; used sourdough
- 6 oz cheddar cheese sliced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat until warm.
- Spread the mayonnaise on 1 side of each of the pieces of bread.
- Place 3 of the slices of bread on the griddle or skillet with the mayonnaise side down.
- Top each piece of bread with the sliced cheddar cheese and another piece of bread with the mayonnaise side out.
- Heat the sandwich until the bread is a golden brown color which will take approximately 4-6 minutes.
- Flip and heat the opposite side until that piece of bread is also golden brown approximately 4-6 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
