Description
This EASY sheet pan grilled cheese takes 2 minutes to prep and is a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Let everyone get involved and build their own!
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 4 Tbsp. butter or mayo (see note below)
- 8 oz. muenster cheese slices
- 4 oz. shredded mild cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place your sheet pan in the oven while it preheats.
- Butter the bread. Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter or mayonnaise.
- Build the sandwiches. Place one slice of bread butter-side down on your work surface. Add your cheese (sliced, shredded, or a combination). Top with a second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Bake. Carefully place sandwiches on the hot sheet pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through (after 5-6 minutes), until both sides are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Notes
Storage: These are best served immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheated in a hot skillet or air fryer to restore the crispness.
Ingredients: Use room temperature butter; it spreads easier and more evenly on the bread. If using mayo, any kind works, but truffle mayo or garlic aioli adds amazing flavor. For the cheese, use 2-3 different types for the best flavor, it’s a great way to use up small amounts from your fridge.
Tools: A rimmed sheet pan is essential. For even browning, use parchment paper if your pan tends to have hot spots.
Serve with: These pair perfectly with tomato soup, a simple side salad, raw veggies and Greek yogurt dip, and fresh fruit.
