Ingredients

• 2 pieces Thick slices of bread (sourdough or white bread preferred)
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese like Gruyere or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0 as needed Optional fillings (e.g. caramelized onions, sliced tomatoes, or cooked bacon)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the opposite side of each slice of bread. This helps create an extra crispy crust.

Step 4

Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Quickly add the slices of cheese on top of the bread, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

If adding optional fillings like caramelized onions, tomatoes, or cooked bacon, layer them on top of the cheese at this step.

Step 6

Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side or until the bread is golden brown and crisp. Press down lightly with a spatula for even browning.

Step 8

Flip the sandwich carefully using a spatula. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and sprinkle a small pinch of salt on the surface for extra flavor.

Step 10

Let the sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve immediately.
