I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Roman Meal. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

The grilled cheese sandwich has become an American classic. Just like baseball and hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches have become a part of the American culture. However, lots of people think that to make a grilled cheese sandwich you only have to slap a slice of cheese between two pieces of bread and grill it. Eeek! There is a proper way to make a grilled cheese sandwich, people! An art, if you will.

What Goes Into Making The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich

The grilled cheese sandwich has arguably been around since the Roman Empire, but it is believed that the modern day grilled cheese sandwich started in the 1920s. Either way, it is a huge part of American life, basically because it is cheap, quick and delicious. Now, that’s my type of meal! And the first step in making the perfect grilled cheese sandwich is choosing the right cheeses {yes, plural} and bread. We prefer Swiss Cheese, White American Cheese and Roman Meal Bread.

Anyway, as I said earlier, there is a proper technique to make a grilled cheese sandwich, and it is NOT putting a slice of cheese between two slices of bread and grilling it {or microwaving it}. If that’s your idea, then you are missing out on sooo much flavor. There are hundreds of different recipes and variations on the grilled cheese sandwich, but I will share my own personal recipe with you here, which we call the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. To make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, you will need:

How To Make The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich

You will need…
2 slices of Roman Meal bread
1/2 tablespoon of butter
2 slices of white American cheese
1 slice of Swiss cheese (deli slices preferred)

Roman Meal bread is always baked fresh, locally in regional bakeries across the United States to delivering freshly baked bread to your local grocery store.

We like Roman Meal bread because it is made fresh locally. Who doesn’t love fresh? Trust me. You can taste the difference. Roman Meal’s Whole Grains are also a good source for vitamin D, calcium, and fiber! This means that your tasty comfort food doesn’t have to be bad for you anymore.

Preparation…
First, prepare your skillet on the stove top by placing it on a suitable eye just below medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt and spread throughout the bottom of the skillet.

While the butter is melting, build your sandwich by adding one of the slices of white American cheese to one of the Roman Meal bread slices, then add the slice of Swiss cheese. Next, add the other slice of white American cheese and top it off with the other slice of Roman Meal bread.

When the butter starts to bubble on the skillet, it is ready for grilling. Add the sandwich to the skillet and cover the skillet. If you have a clear lid, this is best. Allow to grill just until the cheese starts to melt (about two minutes). Then, flip the sandwich over and allow it to grill for an additional minute. Remove from the skillet and allow it to cool for about a minute, then enjoy!

There you have it! My recipe for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. Hope you find it as tasty as we all do here in our household. Enjoy!
