grilled cheese
Buttery, gooey classic
A grilled cheese is a sandwich made by placing cheese between slices of bread and cooking it in a pan or on a griddle until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts.
American cheese on white bread is classic, though variations abound: I'm craving a grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Also called a grilled cheese sandwich.
