Ingredients
  

  • Bread: 4 slices white, sourdough, or whole wheat
  • Cheese: 4 slices cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons softened
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • Tomato slices: 4-6 slices
  • Cooked bacon: 2-3 strips
  • Avocado slices: 1/2 avocado
  • Caramelized onions: 1/4 cup
  • Mustard or mayonnaise: 1 tablespoon

Instructions
 

Prep the Bread:

  • Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, on a clean surface.
  • Layer with cheese slices, adding any optional add-ins if desired.
  • Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.

Cook the Sandwich:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  • Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

Serve:

  • Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting.
  • Serve warm with your favorite soup or side dish.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan for best results.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
  • For a more gourmet touch, add extras like truffle oil or fancy cheeses.
