05
Step
1 mins
Crown each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up. (1 minute)
06
Step
4 mins
Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. (3-4 minutes)
07
Step
4 mins
Carefully flip the sandwiches and continue cooking until the cheese is fully melted and the second side is golden brown. (3-4 minutes)
08
Step
1 mins
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately. (1 minute)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a thin smear of Dijon mustard or pesto to the bread before grilling.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, Fontina, or a smoked Gouda, for a unique flavor profile.
If you don't have softened butter, you can brush the bread with olive oil or mayonnaise for a crispy, golden crust.
