Ingredients
- Butter - I like salted butter here, but unsalted works just fine.
- Bread - Feel free to use your favorite bread on this grilled cheese sandwich. Sourdough bread, Texas toast, and artisan bread hold up well and add an extra layer of flavor. I make the best homemade white bread with my bread machine, and we often use that.
- Cheese - The star of the show. American cheese melts beautifully, but don't hesitate to mix it up with cheddar for sharpness, mozzarella for stretchiness, or even pepper jack for a little heat.

Tips and Tricks
- Heat Is Key: Blackstone sandwiches are super easy to make but easy to mess up if you don't get the temperature right. The perfect griddle temp for grilled cheese and other sandwiches is between 300°F and 325°F, which is typically medium-low. Use an infrared thermometer if you have one!
- Cover for Melt: Use a metal bowl or a dome to cover your sandwiches on the griddle, or if your griddle has a lid, simply close it. This little steam bath helps the cheese get perfectly gooey while the outside crisps up.
- Let Your Creativity Flow: This is the perfect time to create your own variation of grilled cheese. Thinly sliced tomato, caramelized onion, jalapenos, crispy bacon, or even a smear of pesto can elevate your grilled cheese from kid fare to a casual gourmet dinner.
- The Flip Technique: Wait until you see the edges of the bread turn that perfect shade of golden brown before flipping. Use a wide spatula for a secure flip, ensuring that golden perfection remains intact.
