Ingredients

4 slices of bread
120 g cheese
3 tbsp butter

Method

1
Butter one side of each slice of bread, spreading right to the edges. The butter is what makes it golden and crisp.
2
Place two slices butter-side DOWN. Pile the cheese evenly on top, then close with the other slices, butter-side UP.
3
Heat a skillet over MEDIUM-LOW heat — this is the key. Too hot and the bread burns before the cheese melts.
4
Add the sandwiches and cook slowly until the underside is deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Press gently with a spatula now and then.
5
Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden and the cheese is fully melted and oozing, another 3-4 minutes.
6
Transfer to a board and let sit 1 minute, then cut in half on the diagonal (it just tastes better that way) and eat while hot and gooey.

Cook it your way

Save it to scale servings, run step timers, and send the ingredients to a shopping list that skips what is already in your pantry.
