Start with the Best Ingredients
Cheese - American cheese is ideal. It has a mild flavor and the perfect creamy texture when melted. For convenience, individually wrapped slices work great! Other cheeses that taste great and melt well are Cheddar, Havarti, Monterey Jack, Provolone and Swiss.
The amount of cheese depends on the other ingredients used. A traditional grilled American cheese sandwich uses 1 to 3 thin slices.
Bread - Any bread can be used but the best grilled cheese sandwiches use good quality bakery-style white or wheat bread. Plain white breads don't hold up well and may tear when the bread is buttered. Also, heavy breads can have a chewy coarse texture that may overpower the cheese flavor.
Butter - Butter provides flavor and gives the bread a toasty, golden color. Butter should be at room temperature to spread easily and not tear the bread. Or use LAND O LAKES® Spreadable Butter with Canola Oil right from the refrigerator.
Variations and Special Touches
Purists love a plain grilled cheese sandwich but you can use your imagination to add favorite sandwich fillings and flavors. When cut into smaller portions, these creative suggestions and traditional grilled cheese sandwiches can make great appetizers!
- Try ham, pesto, mustard or roasted red peppers.
- Butter the bread with herb or garlic butter for extra flavor.
- Thin slices of apple, pear or tomato are great complements to grilled Cheddar.
- Make an open-faced sandwich by using one slice of bread and removing from the heat when the cheese melts.
