This recipe for a classic grilled cheese sandwich is the perfect pairing to tomato soup. Nothing fancy here - we're sticking to the basics!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices white bread, like Wonderbread
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 slices American cheese, more if using larger bread

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Generously butter one side of each slice of bread. The butter should reach the crust.
    2 slices white bread, 2 tbsp salted butter
    A person spreads butter on a slice of white bread with a knife, preparing for grilled cheese. Another buttered slice and a block of butter rest on a pink tray against a pink tiled background.
  • Place one piece of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet (no heat). Top the bread with the slices of cheese, arranging to cover as much of the bread as possible.
    2 slices American cheese
    A slice of bread topped with melted American cheese sits in a black cast iron skillet on a pink tiled surface, ready to become the perfect grilled cheese.
  • Place the remaining piece of bread, buttered side up, over the cheese.
    A slice of bread with butter on top sits in the center of a black cast iron skillet, ready to become a delicious grilled cheese, all set on a pink tiled surface.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low. Cook until the bottom slice of bread has browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until the other slice of bread has browned, an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove to a plate, cut in half, and serve with tomato soup, if desired.
