Description

This easy and delicious Grilled Cheese on the BBQ recipe features perfectly toasted bread with crispy grill marks and melty deli-style cheese. Using softened butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread creates a golden crust while the cheese melts beautifully inside, making it an ideal quick meal for grilling season.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 tsp softened butter or mayonnaise
  • 2 deli-style cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill for direct grilling over medium heat to ensure even cooking and perfect grill marks.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Spread one side of each slice of bread with softened butter or mayonnaise. This will help create that golden, crispy crust. Then flip the bread so the buttered/mayo side is down, and place the cheese slices on one piece. Top it with the other slice, butter/mayo side up.
  3. Grill the First Side: Place the sandwich on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes until grill marks form. Rotate the sandwich 90 degrees and cook for another 1-2 minutes to create cross-hatched grill marks.
  4. Flip and Grill the Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwich over and repeat the process to get grill marks on the second side—2-3 minutes first, then rotate 90 degrees and grill another 1-2 minutes. This ensures the sandwich is evenly toasted and the cheese inside melts thoroughly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted to perfection, remove the sandwich from the grill. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, cheesy grilled cheese sandwich straight from the BBQ.

Notes

  • Using mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside creates an extra crispy and golden crust.
  • Adjust the grill heat if bread is browning too quickly before cheese melts.
  • Feel free to add extras like tomato slices or cooked bacon inside the sandwich for variation.
  • Use deli-style sliced cheese for quick melting and convenience.
  • Grilling directly over medium heat gives the best results for texture and flavor.
