Instructions
- Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle pan over medium heat.
- Lay out 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and place a slice of cheese on 2 of the slices. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to close the sandwiches.
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each sandwich.
- Place the sandwiches, buttered side down, onto the preheated skillet or griddle pan. Spread butter to the topside of the sandwiches. Allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them cool for a minute or two before cutting them into halves and serving.

Notes
- Storage: Store leftover grilled cheese sandwich in airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat: Heat the sandwich in a frying pan over medium-heat until warmed through and the cheese is melted. You can also place the sandwich on a baking sheet and warm it in a toaster oven for a few minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is heated.
- To freeze: Wrap the sandwiches tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag, removing as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat.
- Tips:
- Preheat the skillet or griddle pan. Ensure the pan is adequately heated to achieve a golden brown crust when the buttered bread hits the pan.
