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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
