Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sliced bread
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Lay the cheese slices on top of the bread in the skillet.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for 1-2 minutes, and slice in half if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
