Ingredients
  

  • 2 large slices sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheese shredded from the block or 4–6 slices
  • (Optional Additions) pickle relish, tomato slices, cripsy bacon slices

Instructions
 

  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Spread mayonnaise onto the outside of each bread slice.
  • Place one slice of bread mayo-side down in the frying pan.
  • Top with shredded cheese (and any toppings if using), then add the second slice of bread, mayo-side up.
  • Cook 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
  • Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Shred cheese straight from the block. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated in anti-caking agent that makes it not melt as well.
  • Mayo can be swapped for melted butter or butter spread.
  • Covering the pan with a lid traps steam and can help the cheese melt faster without burning the bread.
  • Nutrition values are an estimate only.
