Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outer layer that gets cooked.
Step 2
Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 4
Place one slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, into the pan.
Step 5
Layer the slice of bread with 2 slices of cheese, ensuring even coverage to achieve maximum meltiness.
Step 6
Top the cheese with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up.
Step 7
Allow the sandwich to cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, pressing lightly with a spatula to encourage even browning.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Cook the second side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 10
Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the pan and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
