Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2Ingredients:

• 4 slices of your favorite bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)
• Optional add-ins: sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or sautéed onions

Instructions:

1. Butter the Bread (Low Intensity):
   • Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Heat the Pan (Medium Intensity):
   • Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
3. Assemble the Sandwich (Low Intensity):
   • On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, evenly distribute the shredded cheese. If desired, add any optional ingredients like sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or sautéed onions.
4. Top with Bread (Low Intensity):
   • Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
5. Grill (Medium-High Intensity):
   • Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
6. Press if Desired (Low Intensity):
   • If you have a sandwich press or a spatula, you can gently press down on the sandwiches while cooking to achieve a crispier exterior.
7. Serve (Low Intensity):
   • Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the heat.
8. Slice and Enjoy (Low Intensity):
   • Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and the bread is crispy.
9. Optional Dipping (Low Intensity):
   • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tomato soup or ketchup.
