Super Easy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This grilled cheese recipe from allrecipes.com is about as easy as it gets, and produces very tasty sandwiches. It can easily be modified. For example, I modified it by adding slices of precooked turkey bacon. No wonder this recipe is rated as 5-star with nearly 500 reviews. (See http://allrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-cheese-sandwich/) 

I doubled the recipe for the two of us because the slices from the wonderful Italian bread I bought at Publix were small. (The bacon also helped me to solve a problem with the bread. Some of the slices had large holes. I put the bacon over the holes and that prevented the melting cheese from flowing out through the holes.)

Ingredients (for 2 Sandwiches)

4 slices of white bread (normal size)

2 slices cheddar cheese. (Since I love cheese, I doubled the number of slices.)

3 tablespoons butter divided

Directions (from original recipe)

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. 

Generously butter one side of one slice of bread.

Place bread butter side down onto skillet, and add one slice of cheese.

Butter a second slice of bread on one side, and place butter side up on top of sandwich.

Grill until lightly browned and flip over. Continue grilling until cheese is melted.

Repeat with remaining two slices of bread, butter, and cheese.

My Alternative Directions

These directions are a bit faster because you cook both sandwiches at the same time.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. 

Generously butter one side of each slice of bread.

Put two slices butter side down onto the bottom of the skillet

On top of each of the two slices, place one or two slices of cheese and other ingredients you wish to add, like already cooked bacon or tomato.

On top of the ingredients, place a second slice of bread butter side up.

Grill until lightly browned and flip over. Continue grilling until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
