Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 8 slices white or sourdough bread
Cheese:
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
Others:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Optional: cherry tomatoes, cooked bacon pieces, or fresh basil for threading
Instructions
- Preheat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Butter and Assemble: Butter one side of each bread slice. Place half the slices butter-side down in the skillet, then top each with cheddar cheese and a second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Cook: Cook until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
- Thread: Slice each grilled cheese into 1-inch cubes. Thread the cubes onto skewers, alternating with optional add-ins like cherry tomatoes, bacon, or basil if desired.
- Serve: Serve warm with tomato soup or dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use a panini press for more even browning if available.
- These are perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or as a fun side to soup.
