Step-by-Step Instructions:
Butter the bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
Assemble the sandwich: Place cheese between two slices of bread (butter side facing out).
Toast to perfection: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Serve hot and enjoy with tomato soup or a crunchy side salad.
