- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (or preferred melting cheese)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Top each with two slices of cheese, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or crispy bacon before grilling.
- Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss for more depth.
- Cooking on low heat ensures the cheese melts before the bread burns.
