Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 slices Sliced bread
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 8 tablespoons Butter
- as desired Optional toppings (e.g., tomato slices, ham, or cooked bacon)
- as needed Nonstick spray or extra butter for griddle
Instructions
1. Preheat a large griddle or multiple skillets over medium-low heat. If using a griddle, lightly spray it with nonstick spray or grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
2. Lay out 8 slices of bread on a clean work surface. Top each slice with one piece of cheese. Add optional toppings, if desired, such as tomato slices, ham, or cooked bacon.
3. Place the remaining 8 slices of bread on top of the cheese to create 8 sandwiches.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each sandwich. Make sure to cover the entire surface for golden, crispy results.
5. Place each sandwich buttered-side down onto the preheated griddle or skillets. Cook in batches if needed. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the top side of each sandwich while the bottom side cooks.
6. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure good contact with the surface. Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
7. Transfer cooked sandwiches to a serving plate and repeat the cooking process with any remaining sandwiches if necessary.
8. Allow the sandwiches to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing them in half, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
