The All-American Grilled Cheese is a popular sandwich classic for several important reasons. American cheese melts smoothly and consistently, resulting in a gooey, cheesy texture between the buttery grilled bread. Also, while some may prefer a sharper cheese like cheddar, the mild flavor of American cheese complements the other ingredients in the sandwich. Sliced American Cheese is also readily available and inexpensive, making it a budget-friendly option for a quick meal or snack. Lastly, if you're looking for a comfort food to soothe and nourish, the All-American Grilled Cheese will do the trick.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Cabot Salted Butter, softened

SPREAD one side of each slice of bread with softened butter.
