Instructions

6 steps

1
Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter (or a thin layer of mayonnaise) on one side of each slice of bread.

2
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Low and slow is the secret to perfectly melted cheese without burning the bread.
3
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Immediately layer the American and cheddar cheeses evenly over the bread.
4
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
5
Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom bread is a rich, golden-brown and crisp.
6
Carefully flip the sandwich with a wide spatula. Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, pressing down lightly, until the cheese oozes and the second side is equally golden. Serve warm.
