Here’s a simple and delicious grilled cheese recipe perfect for camping:
Ingredients:
- Bread (sliced, your choice of type)
- Cheese (cheddar, white cheddar, gouda, mozzarella, or your favorite type)
- Butter or margarine
- Optional: additional fillings (tomatoes, ham, bacon, etc.)
Equipment:
- Campfire or portable stove
- Cast iron skillet or griddle
- Spatula
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fire/Grill:
- If using a campfire, get a good bed of hot coals going. If using a portable stove, set it to medium heat.
- Butter the Bread:
- Spread butter or margarine evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place a slice of cheese (and any additional fillings if using) between two slices of bread, with the buttered sides facing outwards.
- Heat the Skillet:
- Place the cast iron skillet or griddle over the campfire or stove and let it heat up.
- Cook the Sandwich:
- Place the assembled sandwich on the hot skillet. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, usually about 2-3 minutes per side. Use the spatula to press down gently to help the cheese melt.
- Flip and Cook:
- Carefully flip the sandwich with the spatula and cook the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Then, slice it in half and enjoy your delicious grilled cheese.
Tips:
- Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning. Adjust the skillet’s position if necessary.
- Experiment with different types of bread and cheese for variety.
- Add some herbs or spices for extra flavor.
