These electric skillet grilled cheese sandwiches consist of evenly toasted bread while with the ultimate gooey cheese filling that kids and adults love in their sandwiches.
You've been there before. It's lunchtime and the kids want grilled cheese sandwiches, but you have trouble cooking them without burning the bread or not completely melting the cheese. Well, you're not as likely to over- or under-cook your kids' favorite lunch again with this recipe.
A great feature about an electric skillet is that it maintains the perfect temperature and it is so easy, you may even want to let your kids give it a try if they are old enough. I also use it to make this tripleta sandwich.
We also love pairing our grilled cheese with a bowl of easy roasted tomato soup, a classic combo in our house ever since I was a kid.
So, get out your skillet, grab some bread and cheese slices, put on your apron, and whip up that satisfying lunch you thought you could never make well enough.

Ingredient Notes
- Swiss cheese - When making these sandwiches, don't be afraid of getting creative. Try substituting different styles of cheese (such as cheddar) or use more than one type.
- white bread - You can also try different types of bread and it should work for this recipe.
*Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.
Be creative! Basic grilled sandwiches are a blank slate upon which your culinary imagination can draw. You can even add some slices of tomato or make kimchi grilled cheese for a more adult version.
And, don't forget, kids love to dip them in tomato ketchup or spread them with mustard.
