Cheese Melt Recipe

Looking for a cheese melt recipe that’s rich, gooey, and incredibly satisfying? This Ultimate Cheese Melt is the perfect combination of melted cheese, crispy bread, and simple ingredients. Whether you’re craving a comforting lunch or a quick snack, this classic melt is always a hit!

Ingredients:

2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)

2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1 tsp dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme) (optional)

1/4 cup cooked chicken or ham (optional for extra protein)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. If desired, sprinkle garlic powder and dried herbs on the buttered sides for extra flavor.

Place shredded cheese (and optional fillings like chicken or ham) between the slices of bread, with the buttered side facing out.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt. Flip when golden brown and crispy.

Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet and slice. Serve hot!

Tips for the Perfect Cheese Melt:

Use a blend of cheeses for a complex flavor (cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère are great options).

For an extra crispy crust, grill the sandwich with a little oil instead of butter.

Add extra fillings like tomato, avocado, or caramelized onions for added flavor.

Toast it in the oven: Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes for an even crisp.
