Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather your slices of bread and cheese. Choose your favorite type of bread and cheese for the perfect combination.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a nice, golden crust.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a hot griddle or skillet. Layer the cheese on top, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the bottom slice 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.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are perfectly toasted and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the heat. Slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
