Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 slices Sliced bread (soft sandwich bread is easiest)
- 6 slices Cheese slices (American, Cheddar, or Mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp Softened butter or mayo (For the outside of the bread)
- 1 pinch Salt (Optional but enhances flavor)
Optional Add-Ons
- 4 slices Ham or turkey slices (For extra protein)
- 25 pieces Pepperoni (Adds a pizza flavor)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (For a tangy kick)
- 1 tsp Hot sauce (Optional for adults)
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay out your bread slices and lightly butter one side of each.
- Put cheese on the unbuttered side of one slice, ensuring not to overstuff.
- Top with another slice, buttered side facing out.
Cooking
- Warm a skillet over medium to medium-low heat.
- Cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula.
- Flip when the bottom is golden.
- Move to a cutting board and let it sit for 1 minute.
Cutting and Shaping
- Cut the grilled cheese into a rectangle or square.
- For the top wings, make two small outward bumps on each side.
- For the bottom wings, cut two little inward curves.
- For the ears, cut two tiny triangles at the top middle.
Notes
For best results, keep the heat medium-low and consider covering the pan for quicker cheese melting. If desired, a small amount of marinara can be added inside for a ‘vampire bat’ theme.
