Description

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
