Method

1

Lay out both bread slices on a work surface. If using a spread, apply a thin layer to the inside surface of each slice.

2

Layer cheese (and any optional vegetables or protein) between the two slices, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

3

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until warm but not smoking.

4

Butter or oil the outside of both bread slices, then place the sandwich in the skillet.

5

Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese begins to soften, then flip carefully.

6

Cook the second side for 2–3 minutes until golden and the cheese is fully melted inside.

7

Transfer to a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.
