How to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Without Onions)

Here’s how to make a grilled cheese sandwich the old-fashioned way. Hold the onions, please.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 slices of bread
• 1 - 3 slices of cheese
• butter
• frying pan
• spatula

1. Place the frying pan on the stove and turn burner to medium heat. Let the pan preheat for a minute or two. Preheating time will vary depending on the kind of stove you have.
2. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
3. Place one slice of bread in the pan, butter side down.
4. Place cheese on top of bread.
5. Place second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
6. Cook until golden brown. Gently lift the sandwich every couple of minutes with the spatula to make sure you don’t burn the sandwich.
7. When the downward facing bread is golden brown, flip the sandwich with a spatula.
8. Repeat step 6. When both sides of the bread are golden brown and the cheese is melted in the middle, remove the sandwich from the pan with the spatula and place on plate.
9. When sandwich is cool enough to eat, eat it! Enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Steps 3, 4 and 5 should be completed in quick succession.
• Use any kind of bread and cheese that you like.
• Add a slice of ham to your sandwich during step 4 for a tasty melt.
• Wait until the sandwich is sufficiently cooled before eating. There’s nothing worse than burning your taste buds with molten cheese thereby robbing yourself of the ability to taste a cheese sandwich grilled to perfection.
