  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of 2 of the bread slices.

  3. 3

    Top with Bread

    Cover the cheese with the remaining 2 slices of bread to make two sandwiches.

  4. 4

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the top slice of each sandwich.

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down.
