Disney Grilled Cheese
A simple, comforting grilled cheese sandwich that brings back childhood nostalgia and is perfect for quick meals.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices white sandwich bread or sourdough Choose based on texture preference.
- 2 slices cheddar or American cheese Recommended for best meltability.
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened For spreading on each bread slice.
Optional Fillings
- 1 slices tomato Pat dry to avoid soggy bread.
- 2 pieces cooked bacon Optional addition.
- 1 tablespoon caramelized onions Optional add-in.
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
- Butter one side of each bread slice evenly — this side will be the exterior crust.
- Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet.
- Lay the cheese on the bread, then add any optional fillings on top of the cheese.
- Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Cooking
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3–4 minutes.
- Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and cheese is melted, another 3–4 minutes.
- Reduce heat if the bread browns too quickly.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 30 seconds, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use plant-based butter and vegan melting cheese. Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
