Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Raisin bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lay the raisin bread slices on a clean surface.
If using honey, drizzle 1/2 teaspoon on one side of each of 4 slices of raisin bread. Spread evenly.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese (or about 1/4 cup shredded cheese) on top of the honey-spread side of each of the 4 raisin bread slices.
Top each with a second slice of raisin bread to create a sandwich.
Lightly butter the outer surfaces of each sandwich (1/2 tablespoon of butter per side).
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cooking 2 at a time if needed to avoid crowding.
Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1–2 minutes.
Optionally, sprinkle a hint of cinnamon on top before serving for added flavor.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
