Meals with bread and cheese
Bread and cheese is one of the simplest and most satisfying combos there is.
With a pan or a toaster, you can have something genuinely good in under 10 minutes.
Easy meal ideas
Grilled cheese
Butter bread on both sides, fill with cheese, cook in a pan until golden and melted.
Cheese toast
Put cheese on bread, broil until bubbly and golden. The simplest possible meal.
Open-face cheese melt
Toast bread, layer with cheese, heat until melted. Top with whatever you have.
Cheese quesadilla (with bread)
Fill two slices of bread with cheese, press in a pan like a grilled cheese.
How to stretch these ingredients
- Garlic butter instead of plain butter makes grilled cheese much better
- Any melting cheese works: cheddar, mozzarella, swiss, brie, provolone
- Add mustard inside grilled cheese for a flavor boost
- Broiling is faster than the pan method for a quick cheese toast
- Leftover meat or vegetables inside grilled cheese make it a full meal
