Grilled cheese sandwich

A grilled cheese sandwich is a classic comfort food — simple, golden, and delicious. Here’s a quick guide to making a perfect one:

---

🧈 Ingredients

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

• 1–2 tbsp butter (softened)

• 1–2 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)

---

🔥 Instructions

1. Butter the bread:
   Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

2. Assemble the sandwich:
   Place one slice, butter-side down, in a skillet. Add cheese on top, then cover with the second slice, butter-side up.

3. Grill it:
   Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   Cook the sandwich for about 2–3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

4. Slice and serve:
   Let it rest for a minute, then slice in half (diagonally if you want the classic look).
