Place the two slices of bread on a clean surface.
Take the butter and spread 1 tablespoon evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, lay the cheddar cheese slices evenly.
Place the other slice of bread on top, making sure the buttered side is facing outward.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.
Once the skillet is hot, place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Use a spatula to flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top buttered side if desired.
Cut the sandwich in half or quarters, if preferred, and serve immediately.
