Hi, we can be friends! One day, I was craving grilled cheese sandwich (‘grilled cheese’ in short) so much that I literally had to have it immediately.

For the cheeses, I used a mix of shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella and they turned out perfect. So there you are! An indulgent grilled cheese with minimal guilt. You’re welcome.

In a frying pan, heat up the half the butter and oil (reserve the other half for the second sandwich) and 2 drop large tablespoons of the mixture in the pan.
