This classic sandwich relies on low, steady heat to melt the cheese fully while the bread turns deep golden and crisp. A touch of mayonnaise or butter on the exterior helps achieve an even, crackly crust. It works equally well as a quick lunch or paired with soup for a heartier meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Spread softened butter evenly on one outer side of each slice of bread.

  2. Place both slices of cheese between the bread, buttered sides facing outward, and sprinkle the salt over the cheese.

  3. Heat a 9-inch skillet over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  5. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the second side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  6. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
