Why You Will Like Blackstone Grilled Cheese
As a food blogger who’s flipped her fair share of sandwiches on the Blackstone, I can confidently say this grilled cheese is a game-changer. The flat top gives the bread a perfectly even toast while melting the cheese just right. No soggy bottoms or burnt edges here—just golden, buttery deliciousness. Plus, it’s customizable for every cheese lover’s dream.
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!

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!

Blackstone Grilled Cheese FAQ
The Blackstone griddle is perfect for grilled cheese. The flat, evenly heated surface gives you a golden, crisp crust while melting the cheese evenly inside. You can even make several sandwiches at once—great for families or parties.
Classic American cheese melts very nice, but you can also use cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, provolone, or even a blend of cheeses. For extra flavor, mix and match—cheddar + mozzarella or pepper jack + Swiss are delicious combos.
Depends on your preference. Some people prefer spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of the bread instead of butter—it gives a rich, tangy flavor and a beautifully browned crust. Light mayo works too for a WW-friendly version.

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.
