Who has not tried a classic American sandwich? Whether it is for children at children’s parties, or adults at dinner after a hard day’s work, the Grilled cheese Sandwich is always an option to satisfy that feeling of hunger thanks to its ease of preparation, it is fast, simple and extremely delicious.

History.
There are some versions similar to the Grilled Cheese Sandwich that have been found even in ancient Roman texts. But this famous sandwich was created approximately in the 20’s in the United States, thanks to the fact that in that period the first automatic bread slicer was invented thanks to Otto Frederick Rohwedder.

But this food was not so popular until World War II, when the cooks of the ships of the United States Navy received the cookbooks issued by the government where, according to the instructions, thousands of pieces of it were prepared. This was called «American Cheese Filling Sandwich».

Thanks to technological advances, individually wrapped slices of processed cheese called «Kraft Singles» were introduced to the market in 1949, making it easy to assemble this sandwich. Although the official name was received until the 60’s.

Recipe:
Today we can find on the internet or cookbooks, thousands of recipes similar to the original, or improved with other types of cheeses, special breads, sauces and dressings, including some more daring options that are cooked in different methods, either airfryer, electric waffle maker or in a simple frying pan with a little butter.
