Grilled Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: bread, cheddar cheese, and butter.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet. Add a slice of cheddar cheese, then top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

    Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half.
