Toast the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.
