In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place one sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown.
