Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Butter the Bread

    Spread one tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread butter-side down in a skillet. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the bread, then place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.

  2. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown.

  3. 4

    Flip the Sandwich

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before cutting it in half. Serve warm.
