Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Layer the cheddar cheese and ham slices on the bread in the skillet.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice turns golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
