Description
A crispy, golden toasted sandwich filled with perfectly melted cheese that stretches beautifully with every pull. Simple, comforting, and quick to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices white bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly.
- Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet, spread the cheese mixture evenly on top, then place the second slice butter-side up.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Press gently with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Let the sandwich rest for one minute before slicing for better cheese stretch.
- Grating cheese fresh improves melting and texture.
