Grill the Sandwich
Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, adding the remaining butter as needed.
