Grilled Cheese Sandwich—delightfully simple, perfectly crispy, and wonderfully gooey with each bite!
Ingredients
4 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or your preferred type)
4 tablespoons of softened butter
1 cup of shredded cheese (a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and gouda is highly recommended)
Optional: 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (for added crispiness)
Optional additions: crispy bacon, slices of tomato, or caramelized onions

Instructions
1. Prepare the bread
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. If desired, apply a thin layer of mayonnaise on the same side as the butter to enhance crispiness.
2. Assemble the sandwich
In a nonstick skillet set over medium-low heat, place a slice of bread with the buttered side facing down. Evenly distribute the shredded cheese on top, adding any optional ingredients at this stage. Cover with a second slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing up.
3. Cook to perfection
Allow the sandwich to cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, gently pressing down with a spatula. Carefully flip the sandwich and continue cooking the other side until it is golden brown and the cheese has completely melted, which should take another 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Serve hot
Cut the sandwich diagonally, serve it immediately, and savor it alongside a bowl of tomato soup or your favorite dipping sauce!
