Ingredients
  • 2 slices Bread (Sourdough or your favorite)
  • 2 oz Cheddar Cheese (Shredded or sliced)
  • 1 tsp Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Butter

Prepare the Bread

Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. This will be the side that gets toasted in the pan.

Add Cheese and Sriracha

Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a cold skillet. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the bread. Drizzle the Sriracha sauce over the cheese. Be careful not to use too much Sriracha, as it can overpower the cheese.

Top and Cook

Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up. Turn the heat to medium-low. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Serve Immediately

Remove from the skillet and cut in half (optional). Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and the bread is crispy. Pair with tomato soup or a side salad for a complete meal.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    Yes! Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Havarti would all be delicious substitutes for cheddar.
  • I don't like Sriracha. What else can I use?

    Try a different hot sauce, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or even a drizzle of honey for a sweet and savory twist.
  • How do I get the perfect golden-brown color on my grilled cheese?

    The key is to use medium-low heat and be patient. Don't crank up the heat to rush the process, or the bread will burn before the cheese melts.
