Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sandwich bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Top each slice with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the sandwiches into small 1-inch cubes to create croutons.
Serve the grilled cheese croutons warm on top of soups, salads, or enjoy as a snack.
