Main Ingredients

Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: Cabot cheddar cheese, bread, and unsalted butter. Make sure the cheese is shredded or sliced for even melting.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread the unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will ensure a golden, crispy crust.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a skillet or frying pan. Layer the Cabot cheddar cheese on top of this slice, then place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.

  3. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.

  4. 5

    Finish Grilling

    Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted. You can use a lid to cover the skillet for a minute to help the cheese melt faster.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut in half if desired and serve hot.
