Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outer layer that gets cooked.
Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Place one slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, into the pan.
Layer the slice of bread with 2 slices of cheese, ensuring even coverage to achieve maximum meltiness.
Top the cheese with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up.
Allow the sandwich to cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, pressing lightly with a spatula to encourage even browning.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan, letting it melt around the edges of the bread.
Cook the second side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the pan and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
