1
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a skillet. Add 2 slices of cheese on top, followed by any optional add-ons like tomato, bacon, or avocado. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

3
Grill the Sandwich
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown.
4
Flip the Sandwich
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve warm.
