This baked cheese sandwich recipe is perfect for serving a crowd or making an easy, comforting meal. Instead of grilling sandwiches individually, baking them in the oven allows you to prepare multiple at once. The result is crispy, golden-brown bread with gooey, melted cheese—ideal for pairing with a warm bowl of tomato soup or a fresh salad.
Ingredients
For 6 sandwiches:
- 12 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 18 slices of cheese (cheddar, provolone, or any preferred type)
- Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Lay six slices on a cutting board, butter side down. Place three slices of cheese on each piece of bread. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up.
- Bake: Carefully place the sandwiches on the preheated baking sheet. Bake for 5–6 minutes on one side, then flip them and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with sea salt. Cut in halves and serve immediately.
Conclusion
This baked cheese sandwich method simplifies the process of making grilled cheese for a group, with consistent results and less hands-on effort. Customize with your favorite cheese varieties or add fillings like ham, tomatoes, or bacon for extra flavor. Serve with a side of soup or salad for a complete, satisfying meal.
