Grilled cheese recipe

Cooking time: 0 minutes

Serves: 6 persons

Ingredients
Cheese
50 Grams
Bacon bits
50 Grams
Bread
100 Grams
Tomatoes raw
50 Grams
Butter
2 Table Spoon
Instructions
1
Assemble your ingredients:
Lay out your bread slices and place the cheese slices between them to form a sandwich. If you're adding any optional fillings, like tomatoes or bacon, place them inside the sandwich.
2
Butter the bread
Spread a thin layer of butter or margarine on the outside of each bread slice. This will help the bread brown and crisp up when you cook the sandwich.
3
Preheat a skillet or griddle
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and let it warm up for a minute or two.
4
Cook the sandwich
Place the prepared sandwich on the skillet or griddle, buttered side down. Allow it to cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread becomes golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
5
Flip the sandwich
Carefully flip the sandwich over using a spatula. The buttered side should now be facing up.Continue cooking for another 2-4 minutes, or until the second side of the sandwich is also golden brown, and the cheese is completely melted.
6
Serve
Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the skillet or griddle and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a minute or two to avoid burning your mouth. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
7
Serve hot
Serve hot with sauce.
