Step 1

Start by shredding your cheese using a cheese grater. You will want to use about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of cheese for each sandwich. Use a variety of cheese for more flavor.

Step 2

Next, butter one side of each slice of bread with a generous amount of butter. Make sure to spread the butter all the way to the edges.

Step 3

Then place one slice of bread for each sandwich in a warm skillet on the stove, butter side down. Add the cheese on top of the bread and any additions. Cover with the second slice of bread, butter side up.

Step 4

Cook the sandwich over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the sandwich from the pan and cut it in half. Serve hot with a side salad or a cup of soup.
