This Sheet Pan Grilled Cheese recipe offers a quick and easy way to make multiple grilled cheese sandwiches at once using the oven. Perfect for serving a crowd, these sandwiches have a crispy golden exterior and melty cheese layers of American and Colby Jack, made without the need for stovetop frying.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 sandwiches

Ingredients

Bread and Butter

  • 12 slices of Sandwich Bread (preferably sourdough)
  • 8 tablespoons Butter, softened

Cheese

  • 12 slices American Cheese
  • 2 cups Colby Jack Cheese, shredded (or Cheddar as alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large full-size sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Butter the Bread: Generously spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring even coverage for a crispy, golden finish.
  3. Arrange Bread on Pan: Place half of the bread slices butter-side down on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
  4. Add American Cheese: Place two slices of American cheese on top of each slice of bread in the pan, forming the first cheese layer.
  5. Add Shredded Cheese: Sprinkle about one-third cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the American cheese on each sandwich.
  6. Top with More Cheese and Bread: Add two more slices of American cheese over the shredded cheese layer, then place the remaining bread slices on top with butter side facing up.
  7. Press Sandwiches: Gently press down on the sandwiches with a wide spatula to compact them slightly and help the layers adhere.
  8. Bake the Bottoms: Bake the sandwiches for 6 to 7 minutes until the bottoms turn crispy and golden.
  9. Broil the Tops: Place the pan under the broiler for 45 to 60 seconds per side until the bread tops are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  10. Flip and Finish Baking: Carefully flip each sandwich with a spatula and bake for an additional 6 to 7 minutes until the new bottom is golden and all the cheese is fully melted. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use sourdough bread for added flavor and sturdiness.
  • Adjust broil time carefully to avoid burning the sandwiches.
  • Substitute Colby Jack with Cheddar cheese if desired.
  • Butter the bread generously for the crispiest results.
  • This method allows cooking multiple sandwiches at once, ideal for feeding a group.
