Step 1

Heat a griddle or pan over medium heat. (You don’t want the heat too high, or else the bread will brown before the cheese can melt. If in doubt, go to medium-low and slowly increase the heat.)

Step 2

Place 2 or 3 cheese slices on a piece of brioche, along with any additional desired sandwich fillings. Add another piece of brioche on top to create a sandwich. Repeat to assemble as many sandwiches as desired.

Step 3

Melt butter in microwave or in a small saucepan. Brush melted butter onto one side of each sandwich.

Step 4

Place sandwiches buttered side down onto griddle over medium heat, cooking until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Before flipping, brush melted butter on the top side of each sandwich. Flip and cook another 3 minutes, until cheese melts and sandwich is browned and crispy. (Cook 5-6 minutes total.)

Step 5

Slice sandwiches if desired, serve hot, and enjoy!

Step 6

Yields 2 grilled cheese sandwiches.
