Equipment

  • A non-stick skillet or griddle
  • A spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices bread any type you prefer
  • 2 slices cheese cheddar, Swiss, and American are all popular choices
  • Butter or margarine or a non-stick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat
  • Spread margarine or butter on the side of every slice of bread (or spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray if you prefer).
  • Place a slice of bread, the buttered side down, in the skillet.
  • Add the cheese slices on top of the bread.
  • Top with the second slice of bread, the buttered side up.
  • Then cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
  • Use a spatula to flip the sandwich over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it in half and serving.

Notes

Tips:
  • Use room-temperature cheese so that it will melt evenly.
  • Use low heat to avoid burning the bread and ensure the cheese melts properly.
  • Use a lid to cover the skillet while the cheese melts if you prefer a faster cooking time.
  • Try adding other ingredients to the sandwich, such as sliced tomato, bacon, or avocado, to add some variety and flavor.
  • Use different types of bread and cheese to change the flavor and texture of the sandwich.
