Grilled Cheese Preparation
Prepare the Bread
Take two slices of bread and place them on a clean surface.
Add the Cheese
Place one slice of cheese on top of one slice of bread. If desired, stack another slice of cheese for a cheesier flavor.
Top with Bread
Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese to form a sandwich.
Butter the Bread
Spread one tablespoon of butter evenly on the outer side of the sandwich.
Cook Until Golden
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Press down slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Butter the Other Side
While the first side is cooking, spread butter on the outer side of the sandwich that is facing up.
Flip the Sandwich
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula after 3-4 minutes.
Cook the Other Side
Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove and Serve
Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing.
