1
Prepare the Sandwich
Place one slice of white bread on a flat surface. Layer 2 slices of American cheese on top. Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese.
2
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the top slice of bread.
3
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich butter-side down on the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
4
Flip and Cook
Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on the top slice of bread. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
5
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
