Ingredients

• 4 slices Sandwich bread
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Place the bread slices on a clean surface or cutting board.

Step 2

Lay two slices of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices to create the base of each sandwich.

Step 3

Top the cheese with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.

Step 4

Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 6

Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down, and spread another 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the top side of each sandwich.

Step 7

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting in half and serving.
