Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: sliced bread, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and butter.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Butter

    Take the butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier spreading.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, place one slice of cheddar cheese and one slice of mozzarella cheese. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side up.

  3. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, making sure to not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

  4. 6

    Flip and Continue Cooking

    Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  5. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for a minute. Slice them diagonally and serve warm.
