Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 pieces good bread ((and by good, we mean really, really good))
  • 2 to 3 ounces fontina, Gruyère, or raclette cheese (sliced or grated)
  • Sea salt ((optional))

Instruction

  • Heat a waffle iron.
  • Butter both slices of bread on 1 side. Place 1 bread slice, butter side down, on the waffle iron. Layer on the cheese and top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
  • Close the waffle iron, but don't press it down, and let the sandwich cook for about 2 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and crisp at the edges. If you like your grilled cheese bordering on burnt, leave it in for up to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
