Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sliced bread
- 100 grams cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
Instructions
Start by gathering all of your ingredients and having them ready for use.
If using, spread a thin layer of mustard on one side of each slice of bread. This adds a nice tang to the toasty but is optional.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the edges for even browning.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a clean surface such as a cutting board or a plate.
Evenly distribute the cheese over the unbuttered side of the bread on the board. Avoid overloading the edges to prevent cheese from spilling out during cooking.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up, to form the sandwich.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat.
Carefully place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Once cooked, remove the cheese toasty from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a minute, then slice diagonally if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness while it's warm.
