Recipe #6: Basic Grilled Cheese!

It's basic, it's quick, it's the quesadilla's carb-ridden cousin: The Grilled Cheese! A very simple lunchtime meal or a partner to a goods soup, this sandwich is as easy to make as toast (given that it's ingredients don't skew veery far). A grilled cheese only takes minutes to prepare and can be loaded with veggies and meats to make it an even heftier side-dish or a full meal. Below is a very basic instructional guide to making a Grilled Cheese: 


Prep Time 2 minutes       Cook Time 5-8 minutes        Serves: One Sandwich

Ingredients:
  • Two pieces of any kind of bread (I like Wheat and Sourdough)
  • Two slices of cheese or as much shredded cheese as you please (poet and I know it)
  • Butter to spread
  • Meat of choice (optional, keep it low)
Tools:
  • Butter Knife
  • Spatula
Instructions:
  1. Spread a light coat of butter on one side of each piece of bread
  2. Bring a griddle or pan to medium to medium-high heat 
  3. Lay buttered side of bread onto the griddle/pan and lay cheese (and optional meat) on the side of each slice facing you
  4. Allow the cheese to melt and the buttered sides to brown (about 2-4 minutes)
  5. Use spatula to flip one slice of bread/cheese onto the other slice and allow the sandwich to brown
  6. Continue to flip until the sandwich has browned to one's liking
  7. Remove, slice in halves or quarters and enjoy!
