- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 slices Optional: Tomato slices
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Butter one side of each bread slice with half of the butter; ensure the butter is spread evenly.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Layer the Cheddar cheese slices evenly on top of the bread in the skillet.
If using, place the tomato slices on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the tomato slices.

Cook the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute.
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
