- 3 tbsp 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 slices white bread
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Generously butter one side of a bread slice and place it butter-side down in the hot skillet.
Add a slice of cheese on top.
Butter one side of a second bread slice and place it butter-side up on the cheese.
Cook until the bottom bread is lightly browned, then flip and continue cooking until the other side is browned and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining bread and cheese slices.
Serve and enjoy!
- Opt for cheeses like cheddar, Gruyère, or American for optimal melting and flavor.
- Spreading mayonnaise on the bread's exterior can yield a crispier crust due to its higher smoke point compared to butter.
- Cooking over medium-low heat ensures the bread crisps evenly while allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly.
