Grilled Cheese Recipe

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:

1. 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.
2. Butter the Bread:
   • Spread butter or margarine evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
3. 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.
4. Heat the Skillet:
   • Place the cast iron skillet or griddle over the campfire or stove and let it heat up.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
