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.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to avoid making the sandwich too salty.
  • You can use any type of cheese you prefer, but cheddar cheese is a classic choice for grilled cheese sandwiches.
  • Experiment with different spreads, such as pesto or mustard, to add extra flavor to your sandwich.
