Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Gluten-free bread slices
- 50 grams Cheddar cheese
- 10 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
- 1 pinch Pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Grate or slice the Cheddar cheese into even pieces to ensure it melts uniformly.
Butter one side of each slice of gluten-free bread, ensuring an even layer is spread across the entire surface.
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, onto a clean cutting board or plate.
Evenly distribute the grated or sliced cheese across the unbuttered side of the bread. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up, creating a sandwich with the cheese in the center.
Carefully place the sandwich onto the preheated frying pan, butter-side down.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Using the spatula, carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the toasty from the pan, let it cool for a minute, then cut it in half and serve immediately.
