Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of white bread. This will create a golden, crispy crust when grilled.

Assembly

  1. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet or on a griddle. Add 2 slices of American cheese on top of the bread. Then, place the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing up.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
