The secret to making the best grilled cheese sandwich is using quality ingredients, toasting both slices of each piece of bread, and salting at the end. Who knew?
Ingredients
- 2 T. butter, cut into three even pieces
- 2 slices hearty white bread, Pepperidge Farm or Arnold or your favorite
- 2 slices American, Cheddar, Jack cheese, or your favorite
- Kosher salt, to taste
Steps
- Melt 1/3 of the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until foaming stops. Add both pieces of bread and cook, swirling occasionally, until pale golden brown on bottom side, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate or a cutting board toasted side up. Place both cheese slices on top of one slice and close the sandwich, with both toasted sides facing inside.
- Melt another piece of butter in the skillet, reduce heat to medium low. Add the sandwich and cook, swirling occasionally, until a deep, golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Remove sandwich using a flexible metal spatula. Add the remaining piece of butter. Return the sandwich to the skillet cooked side up.
- Season with salt and cook, swirling occasionally, until second side is a deep, golden brown and cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
