AuthoradminA maple grilled cheese feels like the moment comfort food decides to get a little luxurious. Imagine thick slices of bread brushed with maple butter so they toast into a golden, caramel‑kissed crust. As the heat hits, the maple melts and seeps into every nook, creating a glossy, lightly sweet exterior that crackles when you bite in.
The maple’s warmth wraps around the cheese, giving each bite a buttery sweetness that never overwhelms, just enhances. If you add a touch of crispy bacon or a few toasted pecans, the whole thing becomes even more irresistible.
It’s cozy, indulgent, and just a little unexpected—the kind of grilled cheese that feels right at home on a chilly morning or a lazy weekend afternoon
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, build the sandwich, placing the cheese between the slices of bread.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt completely. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook the first side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Don’t worry if the cheese hasn’t melted yet—it will finish in the oven. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, flip the sandwich, and cook the second side until golden brown, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the grilled cheese to a baking sheet.
Finish the sandwich in the oven until the cheese is completely melted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Slice it in half and generously drizzle with maple syrup.
