Ingredients
Method
Spread the Mayo:
- Generously spread mayonnaise over one side of each slice of bread. The mayo will help create a golden, crispy crust when toasted.
Heat the Skillet:
- Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up evenly.
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay one slice of bread, mayo side down, onto the skillet.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the slice.
- Place the second slice of bread, mayo side up, on top of the cheese layer.
Cook the Sandwich:
- Let the sandwich cook for 4–5 minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Once the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the sandwich over and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
Serve Warm:
- Transfer the grilled cheese to a plate, slice it diagonally, and serve warm. Pair it with tomato soup or enjoy it on its own!
Notes
- Cheese Options: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella, Gruyère, or a mix of your favorites.
- Butter Alternative: If you prefer, you can use butter instead of mayonnaise for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Add-Ons: Customize your sandwich with extras like tomatoes, bacon, or caramelized onions for a gourmet twist.
- Reheating Tip: Reheat leftovers in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread soggy.
