1
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of Texas toast bread.

2
Layer the Cheese
Place one slice of Texas toast butter-side down on a clean surface. Lay 2 slices of American cheese on top of the bread. Cover with the second slice of Texas toast, butter-side up.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Place the assembled sandwich in the hot skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
5
Flip and Grill
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6
Slice and Serve
Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve warm.
