1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients. If using optional ingredients like tomato or bacon, prepare them by slicing the tomato and cooking the bacon until crispy.

2
Butter the Bread
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden-brown crust.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a plate. Add the cheddar cheese slices on top, followed by any optional ingredients like tomato or bacon. Finally, top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom slice is golden brown.
5
Flip and Grill
Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich over. Grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut it diagonally and serve warm. Enjoy!
