If you’re looking for a versatile, unique cannabis edible option, this is it. Today, you will learn how to turn this classic lunch staple into a canna masterpiece. Follow these few effortless steps and get ready to fly to the very gates of the sandwich heaven with this savory Weed Grilled Cheese recipe.
Before Getting Started
If you genuinely believe that every grilled cheese sandwich should have a crispy-buttery taste, you are definitely going to need some cannabis-infused butter. Thankfully we got your back with this easy recipe to make yours and save for your next edible creation! Choose your favorite cannabis strain to control the amount of THC, CBD, or the cannabinoid of your preference.
If you’ve never cooked with cannabis before, we recommend experimenting with CBD flower first. It’s usually easier to access and cheaper to buy. To experience the intoxicating ‘high’ effect of cannabis, you must convert CBDA and THCA into CBD and THC, respectively, through decarboxylation.
Equipment Needed
- Weed grinder or scissors
- Baking sheet
- Silicone spatula
- Saucepan, slow-cooker, or crockpot
Ingredients
- 1 cup cannabis flowers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
Cannabis-Infused Butter
-
Preheat your oven to 250 F.
-
Break the buds up using a weed grinder, preferably. To achieve a powerful cannabutter, we highly recommend using KLIP. It slices your herbs finely in a snap while preserving its precious trichomes.
-
Spread the ground flower on a baking sheet and take it to the oven for 40 minutes. Occasionally check on your ground cannabis flower and stir to allow every piece to cook evenly.
-
When the flower has turned brown, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool. Once it crumbles easily between your fingers, it is ready to use.
-
Using a slow-cooker or crockpot, infuse your preferred unsalted butter with the decarboxylated weed for about 4 hours.
-
If you don’t have a crockpot, you can use a saucepan as well. Pour 2 cups of water while you’re infusing the butter, and bring to a boil. Allow cooking on the stovetop for 4 hours with your decarboxylated herbs, stirring every 15 or 20 minutes. Make sure the butter doesn’t burn.
-
Once the cooking process is over, allow the entire pan to cool.
The finished butter will harden and solidify, floating on top, while the unwanted water will remain on the bottom. Pour off the water to discard it. Now that you have cooked your cannabutter, it’s time to make a tasty weed grilled cheese.
