Description
A timeless, gooey grilled cheese sandwich with golden-brown crusts and melted cheese, made with just bread, cheese, and butter. Simple, satisfying, and endlessly customizable for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 slices bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)
2–3 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or a blend)
1–2 tablespoons butter (softened)
1 can tomato soup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat
Butter one side of each bread slice
Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread
Cook until golden and crispy (2–3 minutes per side)
Serve immediately with optional tomato soup
Notes
For a melty center, let the cheese slices touch each other in the sandwich.
Use day-old bread for better browning if available.
Experiment with cheese varieties like pepper jack or havarti.
Pair with tomato soup for a classic combo.
