Grill the Sandwiches
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You may need to press down on the sandwiches slightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Serve
Once the sandwiches are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skillet. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm with your choice of side, such as pickles or a salad.
