How to make grilled cheese
A grilled cheese Sandwich is a classic treat for everyone. Before you start making the grilled cheese you will have to be prepared. You will need: two slices of bread; one or two slices of cheese; a frying pan; and a little soft butter. Nearly any variety of bread will work as long as you can slice it and it does not have a lot of holes. Optionally, I like to add meat to the inside of the sandwich. Choose ham, hot capicollo, or whatever variety is your favourite. You can also add sliced vegetables such as lettuce or tomatoes. My all time favourite is grilled cheese with brie and bacon.
The kind of cheese is a matter of preference. The variety that is commonly used is American, but it is always fun to try something a bit more interesting, like Brie or Colby. As long as your cheese can melt it will work. You can stack multiple layers of different cheeses as long as they are thinly sliced. If your piece of cheese is too thick it will not melt well enough before the bread burns. Now that you have all your ingredients, you can start to make your sandwich. Butter one side of each piece of bread. Make sure that your butter is adequately softened or your bread will tear when you attempt to spread it. Put your frying pan on the stove. Place one piece of bread, butter side down, on the pan. Place the cheese on top, and add the the second piece of bread, butter side up.
Turn the stove on low and cook until the cheese begins to melt. Then flip the sandwich. Flip again after two minutes. Continue to flip approximately every two minutes until both sides of the bread are an even golden brown. Turn off the heat and remove the sandwich from the pan. Slice it in half diagonally so that you have two triangles. Place your sandwich halves on a plate and serve with ketchup, pickles or whatever condiment or garnish you prefer.
