Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy spreading. If using tomato or bacon, prepare them by slicing the tomato and cooking the bacon until crispy.

Butter the Bread
Spread one tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden and crispy crust.

Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer with one slice of cheddar cheese. If using, add tomato slices and bacon strips on top of the cheese. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
