Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 sandwiches
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 8 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your cast iron skillet or campfire grill over medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. The buttered side will be the one touching the skillet or grill.
- Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, into the skillet or on the grill. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture on top of these slices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Top with the remaining 4 bread slices, buttered side up.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and let cool slightly before serving.
Helpful Tips
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a slice of tomato or a few thin slices of apple inside the sandwich before grilling. If you prefer a different type of cheese, Swiss or Monterey Jack can be great alternatives. Always keep a close eye on your sandwich while cooking to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Storage Instructions
Grilled cheese is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, wrap the cooled sandwiches in aluminum foil and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium low heat until warmed through.
Pairings
This Campfire Grilled Cheese pairs wonderfully with a simple, crisp coleslaw or a bowl of tomato soup for a classic combination. For drinks, a cold lemonade or a warm cup of cocoa can complement the cheesy goodness perfectly.
