There’s nothing quite like finding a restaurant that hits all the right spots. Beauty & Essex in New York City is one of those places – not only does it have a stunning atmosphere, but the food is also absolutely amazing. I’ve been lucky enough to try out their famous Grilled Cheese, and I have to say, it did not disappoint.
Ingredients
- 2 slices thick bread (we recommend sourdough)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium flame.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
- Place the slices of cheddar and American cheese on top of the bread.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
- Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, flipping the sandwich halfway through (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute.
- Cut it in half and serve hot.
If you’re in NYC, I highly recommend giving this Grilled Cheese a try. If you can’t make it out to Beauty & Essex, try your hand at making it at home. And be sure to enjoy it – there’s nothing quite like biting into a perfectly melted, cheesy sandwich.
