The secret to a mouthwatering grilled cheese sandwich is not in the ingredients but on the stove. Some people named it grilled cheese sandwich while some called it toasted cheese sandwich.

No matter how you would call it, it can only mean one thing – a DELICIOUS warm sandwich with cheese oozing out at each bite. Yummy! 

A grilled cheese sandwich is always good! Nothing is more comforting than a crisp, melty cheese sandwich.

Cheese provides a creamy flavour that most of us find satisfying. Like many dairy products, real cheese is a good source of calcium, where it is really important for our children’s bone growth and contributes to a healthy heart.

A perfectly grilled cheese sandwich will never let you down. Just look at my son!

You do not need a lot of things to make this recipe. As long as you have some bread and cheese, you are ready to make this all-time favourite classic sandwich.

A classic grilled cheese sandwich is made with American cheese and white bread but you can switch to other types of bread as long as it is sturdy enough to hold the cheese in.

As for the cheese, anything goes well with it! Grate your own cheese if possible, for the BEST grilled cheese sandwich.

Making a grilled cheese sandwich is very simple. It is great to get our children to learn how they can do it themselves, especially when they are all at home now during this pandemic.

TIPS FOR AN AMAZING GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH:

  1. Work on low or medium heat to allow the bread to get a beautiful golden crust while giving the cheese time to melt. If the pan is too hot, the bread will burn even before the cheese can melt.
  2. Don’t skimp on butter as we need it to achieve the crisp, buttery, golden exterior.

That’s it. This is all it takes to make an amazing grilled cheese sandwich that your children will talk about and request for repeat endlessly.

My kids are huge fans of grilled cheese sandwiches and been requesting it every other day. My youngest son sees me making it so often that he has now mastered the skill too.
