Ingredients
- 2 slices Texas toast (thick sliced white bread) per sandwich

- 4 teaspoons soft butter (room temp) or spreadable butter (butter with olive oil blends that come in tubs) per sandwich
Instructions
- Note: I'm using the largest burner on my stove.
- Cheese. Prep your cheese. Unwrap the cheese from that lovely plastic protection. You will want the cheese ready to go.1 1/2 slices thick sliced plastic wrapped American cheese per sandwich
- Butter. Butter your bread. Spread 2 teaspoons of butter over one side of each piece of bread. It's key that you use soft, spreadable butter or the bread will tear. Be sure to get the bread covered edge to edge. Put them on a plate until the pan is ready.4 teaspoons soft butter (room temp) or spreadable butter (butter with olive oil blends that come in tubs) per sandwich, 2 slices Texas toast (thick sliced white bread) per sandwich
- Preheat. Warm a skillet over medium low heat. Let it heat for at least 1 minute.
- Grill. Grill one side. Place one slice of bread, butter side face down into the skillet. Top with 1 1/2 pieces of cheese, covering the entire face of the unbuttered bread.
- Cover it Up. Gently heat the cheese. Cover the open-faced sandwich with the lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Check the bottom occasionally by gently lifting a corner with a metal spatula.
- Flip. Grill the other side. Once the bottom of the bread is golden and the cheese is gooey, put the other slice of bread on top, butter side facing out. Flip the sandwich and put the lid back on. Grill the other butter side down slice for an additional 1-2 minutes or until completely golden brown. Keep the heat medium low.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately.
