Grilled cheese recipe
You need-
2 slices of bread
butter (or, if you insist, some sort of buttery spread)
cheese of your choice (yellow cheese like colby or cheddar is most standard, but you can use about anything)
Butter one slice of bread, place it butter side down in a frying pan. Arrange cheese to cover bread in a relatively uniform thickness. Butter second piece of bread, place on top of cheese butter side up.
Now, there are multiple ways to cook it. My personal favourite, because I tend to wander away from the stove, is to put it on fairly low. (relative, because I don't know what your stove is aasdasdlike.) Check it periodically. If you hear it sizzling or you smell burning, you probably didn't check it soon enough.
When the cheese starts glistening and softening at the edges, flip it. Alternatively, periodically lift the sandwich and peer underneath. You want it a golden brown, darkness depending on personal taste. I prefer mine reasonably dark but not black in any way.
Flip, carefully. One way- Pick up sandwich on spatula. If pan is clean, (not many crumbs, no liquid butter) you can turn it upside down and place it on top of the sandwich, then rotate the whole assembly right side up. Otherwise, if you flip poorly, you can risk partially disassembling your sandwich and making a mess which is difficult to reassemble.
Wait til the second side is of similar darkness to the first. If you started with a cold burner, this will take much less time than the first half.
Serve, enjoy! If you've done it right, you'll have gooey cheesy goodness between two crispy buttery pieces of goodness.
