🧀 Grilled Cheese! 🧀

The ultimate comfort food!

⚠️ Safety: Ask adult to help with hot stove/panini press!

The Perfect Sandwich

A grilled cheese is just bread + cheese + heat = magic!

Mike the Home Cook: "A good grilled cheese is about balance - crispy outside, melty inside."

🛒 What You Need

2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or whatever you like!)
2-3 slices cheese (American, cheddar, swiss, or mix!)
2 tablespoons butter (softened, not melted!)
optional: tomato, bacon, avocado

👨‍🍳 How To Make It

Method 1: Stovetop

1. Butter one side of each bread slice

2. Put one slice butter-side DOWN in cold pan

3. Add cheese on top

4. Put second slice on top, butter-side UP

5. Turn heat to medium-low

6. Cook 3-4 min until golden, flip, cook another 3-4 min

Method 2: Panini Press or Toaster Oven

Just butter, add cheese, press and toast!

💡 Secrets to Success:
• LOW heat = crispy outside, melty inside
• Softened butter spreads easier
• Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking - use block cheese for better melt!
• Cover the pan to trap heat and melt cheese faster
