Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter cut into 3 even pieces
• 2 slices white bread
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• Black salt

Instructions

1. Melt 1 piece of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides. Add both bread slices and cook, swirling occasionally, until pale golden brown on bottom sides, about 2 minutes.
2. Transfer bread to a cutting board, toasted side up. Place cheese slices on top of one slice, then close sandwich, with both toasted sides facing inward.
3. Melt 1 piece of butter in skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Add sandwich and cook, swirling occasionally, until deep, even golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove sandwich using a flexible metal spatula. Add remaining butter. Return sandwich to skillet, cooked side up. Season with salt. Cook, swirling occasionally, until second side is deep, even golden brown and cheese is thoroughly melted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• For a Crispy Crust: If you want an even crispier crust, use ghee or clarified butter instead of regular butter. This adds a richer flavor.
• Cheese Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Strong cheeses like blue cheese or brie can add interesting flavors.
• Additional Flavorings: You can add a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of paprika to the butter for a more flavorful crust.
• Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup: A classic pairing for grilled cheese is a bowl of tomato soup. The combination of crispy, melty sandwich and creamy soup is a comforting meal.

Variations:

1. Tomato Grilled Cheese: Add a few slices of tomato inside the sandwich before grilling. This gives a juicy, tangy contrast to the richness of the cheese.
2. Vegan Grilled Cheese: Use plant-based butter and vegan cheese (such as cashew-based cheese) to make a vegan-friendly version.
3. Avocado Grilled Cheese: Add sliced avocado for a creamy texture and a bit of freshness inside the sandwich.
4. Spicy Grilled Cheese: Add a few slices of jalapeño or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pickles: Serve with a side of crunchy pickles for some tangy contrast.
• Salad: Pair with a simple side salad (like a green salad with vinaigrette) to balance out the richness.
• Chips or Fries: For a more indulgent meal, serve with potato chips or French fries.
