Place the slices of bread on a clean surface. Lay the cheddar cheese slices evenly on one slice of the bread.
If using optional ingredients, layer them on top of the cheese.
Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
Spread half the butter evenly on the outside of one side of the sandwich. Flip the sandwich over carefully, and spread the remaining butter on the other side.
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes.
Place the buttered sandwich into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to press down gently for even toasting.
Flip the sandwich carefully using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the toasted cheese sandwich from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly before slicing in half and serving.
