1
Prepare the Bread
Take two slices of bread and lay them flat on a clean surface.
2
Add Cheese and Optional Ingredients
Place 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese on one slice of bread. If desired, add optional ingredients like a teaspoon of garlic powder, a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, or two slices of tomato on top of the cheese.

3
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outer side of the bread that does not have cheese.
4
Heat the Pan
Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and let it warm up for a couple of minutes.
5
Cook the Sandwich
Once the pan is hot, place the bread slice with cheese (cheese side up) into the pan. Top with the second slice of bread (buttered side out).
6
Grill Until Golden
Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown. Then, carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

7
Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the pan, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve warm.
