Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 1 -2 tablespoons butter, room temperature ((This amount will vary depending on the size of your bread.))
- ⅓ - ⅔ cup shredded cheese, choose your favorite kinds ((This amount will vary depending on the size of your bread.))
Steps
-
Spread plenty of soft butter on the outside of both pieces of bread. Butter the first slice and drop it butter side down into a hot skillet over medium heat. (If your stove runs hot, start at medium-low.) Cover your slice of bread with shredded cheese. Be generous and use a bit more than you think you need. Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
-
COVER THE PAN WITH A LID. Yes, cover the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for at least a minute. Uncover and check to see if the bottom slice of bread has browned. Let cook until golden brown, usually about 3 minutes on medium heat.
-
Press down slightly on the top slice to help the cheese stick to both slices. Use a thin spatula to carefully flip the sandwich over. COVER WITH A LID once more.
-
If your cheeses aren't melting as quickly or smoothly as you'd like (especially if you are using pre-shredded cheeses) add one teaspoon of water to the edge of the pan and quickly cover with the lid. This helps steam the cheese and it melts beautifully!
-
Check to see if the second slice of bread is golden brown. It should take about 3 minutes on medium heat. When it is ready, remove the sandwich to a plate and enjoy!
