Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down, to form a sandwich.
Butter the outside of each sandwich with 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each side.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwiches carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, cut each sandwich in half (if desired), and serve immediately.
