Equipment

  • Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices of toast White bread
  • 2 slices of Cheese Munster
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • (Salt)
  • (Pepper)

Instructions
 

  • Place the cheese between two slices of toast (and season lightly with salt and pepper).
  • Melt some butter in a warm pan.
  • Then fry the sandwiches in the butter until nice and crispy brown and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to turn the sandwiches in the pan in between. Use a lid for the pan while frying.
  • Cut the finished Grilled Cheese Sandwiches diagonally and serve.

Notes

  • The pan should have a low temperature during preparation. Low and slow is the key to a nice brown sandwich with creamy melted cheese. If the pan is too hot, the toast will crisp up nicely but the cheese will not melt evenly.
  • Use a lid for the pan.
  • The thinner the toast, the more evenly browned it will be.
  • Use mayo instead of butter for a more fancy flavor.
