How to Make All American Grilled Cheese With A Twist
- Place 4 slices of bread on a work surface.
- Divide 1/2 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese evenly among 2 bread slices (about 1/4 cup per slice).
- Top each cheese-covered slice with 2 slices of tomato and 1 teaspoon of fresh basil.
- Top with the remaining 2 bread slices to create 2 sandwiches.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
- Add sandwiches to the skillet.
- Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crispy bread, increase heat slightly during the last minute of cooking.
- If cheese isn't fully melted after 4 minutes per side, cover the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until melted.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
