How to Make Almost Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. Lightly toast two slices of your favorite bread to enhance crispness (optional).
  2. Spread one side of each bread slice with a thin layer of butter (about 1 teaspoon total).
  3. Place a slice of cheese (about 1 ounce) between the buttered sides of the bread.
  4. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and gooey to your liking. Microwave times may vary; start with shorter intervals and check frequently.
  5. Carefully remove from the microwave and enjoy immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
