1
Preheat the Pan
Place a frying pan or skillet on the stove over medium heat and allow it to preheat for about 2-3 minutes.
2
Prepare the Bread
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the side that gets grilled.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a plate. Add the cheese on top of the bread. If using, layer in the optional add-ons like tomato, bacon, or avocado. Finally, top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.

4
Grill the Sandwich
Carefully place the assembled sandwich onto the preheated pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
5
Flip the Sandwich
Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich over and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until it's golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6
Cut and Serve
Remove the grilled cheese from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve warm.
