You think a grilled cheese is a no-brainer. But this simple classic becomes so much more when you cook it correctly.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
- 8 slices white bread
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices american cheese or mozzarella cheese
Directions
- Spread 2 teaspoons butter on one side of each slice of bread. In batches, place a slice of bread, butter side down, in a large skillet or electric griddle over medium-low heat. Place a slice of American cheese on two pieces of bread; divide shredded cheddar cheese on top of each. Top with a second slice of American cheese and one of the remaining bread slices, butter side facing outward. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Flip sandwiches; cook another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Serve immediately.
