🧈 Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich

📝 Ingredients (makes 1 sandwich)

• 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)

• 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, or a combo)

• 1–2 tbsp butter (softened) — or mayo for toasting

---

🍳 Instructions

1. Butter the bread:
   Spread butter (or mayo) evenly on one side of each bread slice. These sides will face outward.

2. Assemble:
   Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread, buttered sides facing out.

3. Cook:
   Heat a skillet over medium heat.
   Place the sandwich in the pan and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp — about 2–3 minutes.
   Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and the cheese melts — another 2–3 minutes.
   (If the bread browns too quickly, lower the heat so the cheese can melt.)

4. Serve:
   Slice in half and enjoy warm — great with tomato soup or pickles on the side.
