Believe it or not, this recipe took some experimentation before it achieved perfection. I tried spreading butter on the inside, different types of cheese, and different ways to grill it. This is the best. You have to use the presliced American cheese wrapped in plastic wrap, and whole wheat sandwich bread, along with real butter. This isn't gourmet, but it's fabulous.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 11 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 slices whole wheat bread (I like Pepperidge Farm)
- 5 slices processed American cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter (NOT margarine)
Preparation:
Place two of the bread slices on the work surface. Top each with 2-1/2 slices of the American cheese. Top with remaining bread slices to make sandwiches. Spread the outsides of the sandwiches thinly with butter.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches on the skillet and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip, cover again, and cook for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and bread is browned. Serve immediately. Serves 2
