Ingredients
- 2 slices sliced bread
- 100 grams cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by gathering all of your ingredients and having them ready for use.
Step 2
If using, spread a thin layer of mustard on one side of each slice of bread. This adds a nice tang to the toasty but is optional.
Step 3
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the edges for even browning.
Step 4
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a clean surface such as a cutting board or a plate.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the cheese over the unbuttered side of the bread on the board. Avoid overloading the edges to prevent cheese from spilling out during cooking.
Step 6
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up, to form the sandwich.
Step 7
Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat.
Step 8
Carefully place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the cheese toasty from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a minute, then slice diagonally if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness while it's warm.
