Yummy Grilled Cheese.

An easy snack whipped up in just a couple minutes, is known as a grilled cheese sandwich! This sandwich is basically made with two toasted slices of bread with whatever cheese you'd like to add, most commonly used is American cheese. This was created in the 1920s and was extremely popular during the Great Depression. This amazingly delicious treat can be made in many different ways. White or wheat bread, any type of cheese, add a little deli (ham, turkey), tomatoes and what ever you feel like adding to make it your very own sandwich. Personally, I like to have mine simple - white bread with American cheese. It is just delicious and hits the spot.
The recipe to make this sandwich is pretty simple. First, you will want to toast your bread on a toaster just so it is barely toasted. Heat up a pan (nonstick will be good) on the stove at medium low. Once you're done toasting the bread, you will then want to spread butter on one side of each slice of bread and place your cheese (and ham and other condiments if added) on the sides that don't have butter on them, so it looks like a sandwich. Then, you will want to place it on the pan and let it toast for a little bit and then flip it over to the other side as well. You can repeat this as many times as you'd like, just try not to burn it!
This treat is an American classic, and enjoyed by many people at any age.

  1. Is grilled cheese healthy? Like in calorie intake, is it better to eat it without butter? Why was it, created in the 1920's was it cheaper and that's the only thing they could eat? It sounds really good, I personally like my grilled cheese, plain and simple, toasted wheat bread with American cheese. Do you have any recommendations on better ways to make grilled cheese? maybe adding tomatoes or turkey? I'm up for any ideas as long as they are healthy!
