Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Butter the bread

    Spread 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter on one side of each bread slice.

  2. 2

    Prepare cheese

    Separate cheddar cheese slices and keep them ready for assembly.

Assemble

  1. 3

    Assemble sandwich

    Take two bread slices; place cheddar cheese slices between them with the buttered sides facing outward.

Cook

  1. 4

    Grill the sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet, buttered sides down. Cook until the bottom is golden and the cheese starts to melt, about 3-4 minutes.

    Flip the sandwich and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted, about 2-3 minutes more.
