Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sandwich bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place the bread slices on a clean surface or cutting board.
Lay two slices of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices to create the base of each sandwich.
Top the cheese with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down, and spread another 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the top side of each sandwich.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting in half and serving.
