Mini Grilled Cheese Dippers Recipe

Introduction

Mini Grilled Cheese Dippers are a fun and easy twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Perfect for snacking or serving as an appetizer, these bite-sized treats are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

Ingredients

• Bread (your choice, enough for desired sandwiches)
• Cheese (such as cheddar or American, sliced)
• Butter (softened, for spreading)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Assemble the sandwiches by placing slices of cheese between two pieces of bread. Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each sandwich.
2. Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Step 3: Remove the grilled sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Then, slice each sandwich into strips or “dippers” for easy dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Try different types of cheese like mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack for new flavors.
• Use garlic butter or sprinkle a little garlic powder on the bread before grilling for extra flavor.
• Serve with tomato soup or marinara sauce for dipping.
