Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
-
Step 3Warm up your tomato soup, and reserve.
-
Step 4Brush the melted butter on one side of each of the two slices of bread.
-
Step 5Add one slice of bread, butter-side down, to a skillet over medium heat.
-
Step 6Mix the two cheeses together, and spread over the top of the bread slice.

-
Step 9Flip, and cook for an additional 2 – 3 minutes.

Step 10Chef’s Tip: For me, cooking the ultimate grilled cheese is not about two flips, I might flip it several times, until I achieve the exact level of browning that I want.

-
Step 12Chef’s Tip: The strips need to be thin enough to dip into the tomato soup.
