Bread

Cheese

Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Your Ingredients

    Make sure to have all your ingredients ready: 2 slices of bread, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons of butter.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden and crispy exterior.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a preheated skillet. Layer the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on top, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.

  2. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Cook the sandwich over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.

  3. 5

    Finish Grilling

    Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese has melted. If needed, lower the heat to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly without burning the bread.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut it in half and serve warm, optionally with tomato soup or pickles on the side.
