Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients, including bread (such as sourdough or whole wheat), cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or American), butter or mayonnaise for spreading, and any additional fillings you desire (such as tomato slices, bacon, or avocado).
Preheat Pan or Grill: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. It's important to preheat the cooking surface to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
Butter or Mayo Bread: Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter or mayonnaise. This will help the bread toast evenly and develop a golden crust.
Assemble Sandwich: Place the bread slices buttered side down on a clean surface. Layer cheese (and any additional fillings) on one slice of bread, then place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
Cook Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Press Down: If desired, use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwich while cooking. This helps the bread make contact with the cooking surface, resulting in an evenly toasted exterior.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the sandwich is golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet or griddle and let it cool for a minute. Then, slice it in half diagonally and serve hot.
