How is a grilled cheese sandwich prepared?


To prepare a grilled cheese sandwich, first select two pieces of standard white sandwich bread and lightly apply butter to the outside of each piece.  Use room temperature butter as it is much easier to spread than cold butter straight from the refrigerator.  Turn on an electric griddle and set the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Place one slice of the bread butter side down on the griddle.  Next place two slices of an easily meltable cheese on top of the bread.  Finally place the remaining piece of bread on top of the cheese with the buttered side facing up.  Periodically use a spatula to lift the sandwich and inspect the bottom surface.  When the surface is toasted to a light golden brown flip the sandwich.  Periodically inspect the bottom surface.  When it has reached a light golden brow, remove the sandwich from the griddle and place it on a plate.
