- 16 slices of French bread
- 8 1/2- inch slices of fresh mozzarella or enough cheese for 8 grilled cheese
- 2 Tbsp butter
Use either sliced French bread or slice 1/2-inch slices of bread for the sandwiches. Each sandwich will get 2 slices of bread.
If the cheese you have is a little thicker, feel free to slice them gently. Layer the cheese in between the slices of bread.
Heat a large (or whatever size) skillet you have. Add 1 Tbsp butter and melt it on Medium-low heat. Spread out the butter for an even caramelization of the bread. Once the butter has melted, place the sandwiches on the skillet, however many the skillet can handle. I like to cover the sandwiches with a smaller lid and gently press down on it while the grilled cheese sandwiches are cooking. This helps with cheese melting faster and also creates a somewhat thinner and crispier sandwich.
Once the bottom of the grilled cheese turned golden brown, flip them and keep on cooking on that side. If you feel like it, drop a little more butter in between bread and gently spread it out. You can do the lid method again and give the sandwiches a slight press. Once you notice that the cheese is oozing from the sandwiches, Ii is a good indication that the cheese has melted. If both sides of the bread are nice and toasty, the sandwiches are ready.
