To make Crispy Grilled Cheese Sandwich You'll need the following ingredients
- Bread: Texas toast or other thickly sliced bread works best.
- Butter: Spread half a tablespoon of butter on each piece of bread. We use unsalted butter, but any kind of butter will do.
- Cheese: We use a mix of sliced medium cheddar, gouda, and Havarti cheese.
How to Make Grilled Cheese
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each piece of toast.
- Put a pan over low to medium/low heat to heat it up. The right temperature for a griddle is 275 F. Add two slices of bread with the butter side down right away.
- Add cheese. Pile the cheese on one of the pieces of toast, cover it with the other piece of toast, and flip the sandwich over.
- Brown the toast: Keep sautéing, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- To serve, cut the sandwich in half across the middle.

Ingredients
- 8 slices Texas toast, or thick sliced sandwich bread
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 slices medium cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Gouda cheese
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
Instructions
- On one side of each slice of bread, spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
- Put a skillet on medium or low heat and put two pieces of buttered bread in it.
- Stack cheddar, havarti, and gouda cheeses on one piece of toast. Once the bread is golden brown, close the sandwich with the crisp sides on the outside.
- Cook the bread until it turns golden brown. Flip it once and press down gently to help the bread stick to the cheese. The total cooking time should be around 5-6 minutes. Keep the heat on medium-low to allow the bread to toast slowly, which will help the cheese melt fully and stick to the bread.
- As soon as you notice the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, transfer the sandwich to a plate and cut it in half diagonally. This will create a beautiful presentation and make it easier to eat.
- Don't forget to repeat the process for the next sandwich to make sure everyone gets a taste of this delicious treat!
