If you are looking for a simple meal that always turns out good, this Blackstone grilled cheese is one of the easiest things you can make. It is crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and comes together in just minutes. Cooking grilled cheese on the Blackstone gives you that perfectly even golden crust that is hard to beat.
I like making this when I want something quick that still feels like real food. It is also a great option for lunch, a light dinner, or even a late-night snack. You only need a few ingredients, and you can make multiple sandwiches at once, which makes it perfect if you are cooking for more than one person.
After making this many times, the biggest thing I have learned is that simple ingredients and the right heat level make all the difference. Once you get that down, this becomes one of those meals you will make on repeat.

How to Make Blackstone Grilled Cheese
Step 1 Preheat your griddle to medium heat. While it’s heating up, spread a generous layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 2 Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the griddle. Quickly add your cheese slices on top of the bread, ensuring they cover the bread evenly. If you're adding any extra fillings, layer them on top of the cheese. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Step 3 Cook the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwich while it cooks to help the cheese melt evenly. Once both sides are perfectly toasted and the cheese is gooey, remove the sandwich from the griddle. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half and serving. Enjoy your delicious, homemade griddle grilled cheese!
Pro Tips for Grilled Cheese
- Use medium heat so the bread does not burn before the cheese melts
- Press lightly with a spatula for even browning
- Do not overload with cheese or it may not melt evenly
- Try mixing cheeses for better flavor and texture
- Cook multiple sandwiches at once to save time
Storage
- Store leftover grilled cheese in an airtight container in the fridge
- Best eaten within 1 to 2 days
- Reheat on a skillet or back on the Blackstone for best texture
- Avoid microwaving if possible since it can make the bread soggy
Serving Suggestions for Grilled Cheese
I like to make some Instant Pot French Onion Soup or Air Fryer Tomato Soup to serve on the side.
Pair your grilled cheese with this really good Tomato Soup! Always a classic!
Grilled Cheese sandwiches can also be made in air fryer - Air Fryer Grilled Cheese with Mayo

Description
Cooking grilled cheese on a Blackstone is simple and easy just like cooking Steak on a grill. It takes no time at all and you can cook your protein of choice next to it.
Ingredients
8 slices of bread
8 American Cheese Slices, singles
1 cup of mild chedddar cheese
4 tablespoons of butter
1 loaf of good crusty bread
Instructions
Preheat your griddle to medium heat. While it’s heating up, spread a generous layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the griddle. Quickly add your cheese slices on top of the bread, ensuring they cover the bread evenly. If you're adding any extra fillings, layer them on top of the cheese. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwich while it cooks to help the cheese melt evenly. Once both sides are perfectly toasted and the cheese is gooey, remove the sandwich from the griddle. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half and serving. Enjoy your delicious, homemade griddle grilled cheese!
Notes
- If the shredded cheese starts to escape from the sandwich and gets stuck on the grill or outside of the bread, just keep on cooking it on the griddle. The cheese will get nice and crusty stuck to the bread!
- Make a garlic butter to spread over the bread instead of regular butter.
- Try and test out a variety of different cheeses, there are endless amounts of cheeses in the supermarket today.
