Ingredients
- 4 slices Sliced bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place a large baking sheet in the oven while it preheats to ensure it gets hot.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing 2 slices of cheese between two slices of bread, with the buttered sides facing out.
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the sandwiches on it.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
Flip the sandwiches using a spatula, then bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then cut in half and serve warm.
