Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep your bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. This will become your golden crust.
-
Assemble: Place cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese between the slices, buttered sides out.
-
Cook low & slow: Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwich and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.
-
Serve immediately: Slice in half to reveal that gooey center, and watch the cheese stretch in all the right ways!
What to Serve With Your Keto Grilled Cheese
-
Crisp celery sticks or cucumber slices for crunch
-
A side of keto-friendly tomato soup
-
Pickles or olives for a tangy contrast
Tips for the Perfect Sandwich
-
Don’t rush the heat—low and slow is key for melty cheese and golden crust.
-
Let cream cheese soften beforehand for easier spreading.
-
Press gently with spatula, but not too hard—you don’t want all the cheese oozing out.
Storage Instructions
-
Best enjoyed fresh.
-
Can store leftover sandwiches in the fridge for up to 24 hours; reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
