Method

1

Lay both bread slices on your work surface. If using a condiment, spread it thinly on one or both slices.

2

Layer the cheese on one slice, then add any optional proteins or vegetables in an even layer, finishing with another layer of cheese if desired.

3

Top with the second bread slice and gently press down. Lightly butter the outside of the top bread slice.

4

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until a small piece of butter sizzles on contact.

5

Butter the outside of the bottom bread slice, then carefully place the sandwich butter-side down onto the hot skillet.

6

Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula if needed.

7

Flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

8

Transfer to a plate, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm and cheese is at peak creaminess.
