The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich
By Lisa Maliga, copyright 2025
Grilled cheese on white mountain artisan bread with aged white cheddar and medium cheddar slices. Slathered and cooked with salted butter.
Even if you can’t cook or don’t like cooking, this is such an easy recipe to make. Preparation time is less than a minute and cooking time is about five minutes. You only need 3 ingredients! I tried using rye bread and it was nice, though a bit hard. The white mountain artisan bread, which is similar to sour dough in texture, not flavor, is pillowy soft on the inside with a crunchy crust. It’s the best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve had in years! Here’s the super easy recipe.
The cheese I used is sliced cheddar cheese in medium and aged cheddar flavors. Amazon has a really good deal on Tillamook brand sharp cheddar. It’s less expensive than most grocery stores! https://amzn.to/4ngEW7g
2 slices of a white mountain bread [or sourdough]
3-4 slices of cheese, cheddar, American, muenster, Havarti, or whatever you prefer
Mayonnaise or butter for both sides of the bread.
Butter or add mayonnaise to one side of each slice. Flip over and add a little less to the ‘inside’ of the bread. Optional: add a dash of garlic salt or other favored seasonings.
In a pan, add the heavily buttered side and cook on medium heat. Flip over and cook the other side. This should take about 5-8 minutes. Copper pan: https://amzn.to/43WyN8J
Finally, place your piping hot grilled cheese sandwich on a plate and cut in half.
You can enhance the flavor with chipotle seasoning, dressing, and/or mustard.
