Add Cheese
Top the bread in the skillet with slices of cheese. Then, place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
Cook the Sandwich
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Ensure the butter is soft to make spreading easier, but not melted.
Cooking Surface
A non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan works best for achieving a crispy exterior.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled cheese with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Storage
Leftover sandwiches can be stored in the refrigerator but are best enjoyed fresh.
