PIN IT FOR LATER!
There’s nothing more comforting than a perfectly gooey grilled cheese. While a skillet works well for a single sandwich, the Blackstone griddle shines when you want to make multiple sandwiches quickly and evenly. It gives even heat so the bread crisps up without leaving cold, only-partially-melted cheese inside. This method is great for feeding a crowd or making an easy family meal to pair with tomato soup or another favorite dip.

How to Make Blackstone Grilled cheese
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice on the preheated Blackstone, mayo-side down. Top with two slices of cheddar, then cover with the second slice of bread, mayo-side up.
- Cook 2–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side 2–4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a plate and let rest 2–3 minutes so the cheese sets slightly. Cut in half and serve.
How to Store Leftover Grilled Cheese
Let sandwiches cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap or foil, or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended, as texture and melt quality suffer.
How to Reheat Grilled Cheese
Reheat on a stovetop or griddle for the best crisp and melt. Melt a little unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat and warm the sandwich a few minutes per side until the bread is crisp again and the cheese is fully melted.
Is mayo or butter better for grilled cheese?
Either works. Mayonnaise gives a tangy, evenly browned crust and spreads easily. Butter provides classic flavor; use softened or whipped butter so it spreads without tearing the bread. Try both to see which you prefer.
What to Serve with Blackstone Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese pairs well with simple sides and soups. Classic choices include French fries, grilled sweet potatoes, or a warm bowl of tomato, minestrone, mashed potato, or hamburger soup. For extra indulgence, add cooked bacon or caramelized onions inside the sandwich.
Pro Tips for the Best Blackstone Grilled Cheese
- Spread an even layer of mayo without compressing the bread.
- Match the cheese amount to the bread size — thick bread like Texas toast needs extra cheese.
- Use thick-sliced cheese or slice from a block for the best, gooey melt.
These Blackstone grilled cheeses are quick, satisfying, and reliably delicious. Once you try them, they’ll likely become a go-to for easy meals and gatherings.
