Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

Serve
Once both sides of the sandwich are golden and crispy, remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut in half and serve warm.
