Whichever bread you prefer to choose, please don't use regular white sandwich bread or wheat bread for this microwave sandwich recipe unless you plan to toast the bread before or after microwaving, because otherwise they may become too soft and soggy.

Using a good quality potato bread or any thick crust bread preferably sourdough, french bread or potato bread is one of the best and easy ways to make a soft & kid friendly cheese sandwich without using a toaster. Of course a good sandwich maker or toaster is a great asset for any kitchen and will help you make delicious grilled cheese sandwich in no time and many of them also helps you make more dishes.

I made this simple easy cheese sandwich using a microwave oven which is really quick, easy and simple, but it is possible to make bread sandwich without toaster in a conventional oven too. The most important thing you need to make simple bread sandwich is a very good quality bread and I suggest using good quality potato bread or sourdough bread or any rustic bread with thick slices that doesn't collapse and becomes soggy in the microwave ocen. I think potato bread cheese sandwich tastes the best and it is so easy to put it together, and kids usually love it.
I really don't want to use regular lighter sandwich bread to make cheese sandwich without grilling or toasting, because, they taste the best when they are toasted. Good quality potato breads have more fiber content than regular white breads and they taste great even when they are not toasted. So let us start making the easy cheesy sandwich using potato bread slices (or any sandwich bread of your choice) and grated or sliced cheese. The only things you may need extra are spices like garlic powder or black pepper powder (or white pepper powder) or even oregano powder or red chili flakes or whatever spice you want to add to your cheese sandwich.
If you are making for kids, I suggest you to not to use any strong spices (especially the chili flakes), since many kids may not like the flavor of spices.
ingredients used to make cheese sandwich in microwave
- bread slices 2 (I used potato bread, you may use any thick slice bread you prefer like sourdough bread)
- shredded cheese - 3 to 4 tablespoons or as more if you like (or 2 cheese slices - (cheddar, Mexican blend , Gouda etc works great))
optional ingredients:
- garlic powder 1 teaspoon
- butter 2 teaspoons (at room temperature, which can be spread on the bread)
So here is how you can make this yummy, easy and soft cheese sandwich made without a toaster and which is also made without butter. I didn't add butter just because I wanted to keep it more simple and reduce the use of more fat as it already has cheese in it. If you prefer adding butter, you can spread butter (at room temperature) in the slices just before you add the shredded cheese. But this is simply delicious even without butter.
how to make cheese sandwich in microwave oven?
step by step instructions to make microwave cheese sandwich
Step 1 - Slice off the edges of the bread if you wish (I usually don't do this for potato bread as they are soft in texture).
Step 2 - If using butter, spread the butter evenly on one slice of bread. You can use a butter knife to do this easily.
Step 3 - Add the cheese (shredded or sliced) on top of the buttered bread.
Step 4 - Now spread the butter on the other slice of the bread too.
Step 5 - If using garlic powder or any other seasoning, sprinkle those on both slices of bread if you like flavored cheese sandwich.
Step 6 - Gently press the bread slices with the butter knife and put the second slice of bread on top of the other bread slice with cheese and gently press the slices together.
Step 7 - Microwave on high for 30 seconds or few more seconds until the cheese is melted. If the cheese is not completely melted, you may microwave for another 15 seconds.
Step 8 - Let the cheese sandwich cool for a few seconds, serve and enjoy for breakfast, lunch or snack! If you wish the sandwich to be toasted, you may heat an iron skillet (lightly greased with butter or oil), place the sandwich on the skillet once it's hot and then toast the sandwich on both sides for few seconds until they are lightly browned or toast in the oven.
Notes: You can also enjoy the cheesy slices like an open sandwich, just like you see below and add toppings like red chili flakes or black pepper powder, oregano etc for more flavor.
