Homemade Panera Grilled Cheese Recipe
This homemade Panera grilled cheese recipe is the perfect way to enjoy a classic comfort food. With just a few simple ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you can make a delicious and crispy grilled cheese sandwich that's sure to satisfy your cravings.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
Instructions
- Start by preheating a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- While the skillet is heating up, spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This will give the bread a golden, crispy texture when it's cooked.
- Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the un-mayoed side of two slices of bread. Then, place the remaining two slices of bread, mayoed side down, on top of the cheese slices to make two sandwiches.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet or griddle. Once melted, add the sandwiches to the skillet or griddle.
- Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Once the sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.
