Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough—your choice)
• 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite melting cheese)
• Butter or mayonnaise (for spreading)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Pan:
   Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. This ensures the bread toasts evenly without burning before the cheese melts.

2. Prepare the Bread:
   Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. (Mayonnaise creates a crispier crust!)

3. Assemble the Sandwich:
   Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Add the cheese slices on top. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

4. Cook:
   Let the sandwich cook for 2-4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

5. Flip Carefully:
   Use a spatula to flip the sandwich. Cook the other side for another 2-4 minutes until it’s golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6. Check the Cheese:
   If the bread browns before the cheese melts, lower the heat and cover the pan for a minute to help the cheese melt.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Remove the grilled cheese from the pan, let it cool for a minute, then slice and enjoy!

Tips:

• Use shredded cheese for faster and even melting.
• Add extras like tomato slices, bacon, or caramelized onions to elevate your grilled cheese!
