How to Make Inside-Out Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices white bread
  • ½ cup shredded extra sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions:

  1. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place bread slices in the skillet on top of the melted butter.

  2. Spread about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on one slice of bread; place the other slice of bread, butter-side up, on top of the cheese. Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the sandwich.

  3. Melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the skillet next to the sandwich. Flip the sandwich onto the melted butter so that the cheese-side is facing down.

Flip sandwich and cook until cheese is crispy and caramelized on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes.
