Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the slices of bread and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a plate. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese on top of each slice. Then, place the remaining two slices of bread on top, butter-side up, to form two sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Use a spatula to flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Cut them in half if desired, and serve hot.
