Ingredients for Awesome Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • Onion
  • 2 slices rye bread
  • American Cheese
  • Swiss Cheese

How to Make Awesome Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of margarine in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of margarine on one side of each slice of rye bread.
  3. Place one slice of rye bread, margarine-side down, in the frying pan.
  4. Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) and the cooked onions.
  5. Top with the remaining slice of rye bread, margarine-side up.
  6. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melting.

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.
