Preheat your grill to a high setting.
Grate the mature cheddar cheese so it melts evenly on the toast.
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice using the unsalted butter.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, buttered side down.
Evenly distribute the grated cheddar cheese over the non-buttered side of the bread slices.
Optional: Add tomato slices on top of the cheese for extra flavor.
Sprinkle black pepper over the top to enhance the taste.
Place the baking sheet under the grill, making sure the cheese is about 5 inches away from the heat source.
Grill for about 4 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and begins to bubble and browns slightly.
Once done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the grill and let the cheese on toast cool slightly for a minute.
Cut the cheese on toast diagonally and serve warm.
