Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when cooked.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto a skillet or griddle. Add the cheese slices on top, then cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Cook: Heat over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while hot for the best melty, crispy combination.
Notes
- Try mixing cheeses like mozzarella, gouda, or provolone for added flavor complexity.
- Use artisan bread for a more robust texture and flavor.
- For a crispy finish, use clarified butter or mayonnaise instead of regular butter.
