Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Low sodium bread slices
- 2 slices Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients and place them within reach for easy preparation.
Take 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and allow it to soften to room temperature. This will make spreading easier.
Lay down the 2 slices of low sodium bread on a clean, flat surface.
Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outside of the sandwich.
Place the low sodium cheddar cheese slices on the unbuttered side of one of the bread slices.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the cheese for added flavor.
Close the sandwich by placing the other slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down.
Cook the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium classic cheese sandwich!
