Method

Preparation

1

Butter the Bread

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

2

Assemble the Sandwich

Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, onto a clean surface. Layer with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, then top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

Cooking

3

Preheat the Skillet

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

4

Grill the Sandwich

Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5

Serve

Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve warm.
