Ingredients
3 ingredients- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 2 slices melting cheese, such as Cheddar or American cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Method
6 steps- Spread the softened butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
- Place the cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread, leaving the buttered sides facing outward.
- Place the sandwich in a cold or gently heated skillet and set it over medium-low heat.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the underside is evenly golden.
- Turn the sandwich over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from the skillet, rest for 1 minute, then cut and serve while warm.
Additional tips
- Contains wheat, gluten and milk. The melted cheese and sandwich filling will be very hot immediately after cooking.
