How to Make It: Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on both sides of the bread slices. If you love a richer taste, mix a little garlic powder into the butter before spreading.

Layer the Cheese: Place your favorite cheese between the slices. You can mix cheddar for sharpness and mozzarella for extra stretch.

Toast to Perfection: Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Press gently for an even melt.

Enjoy! Let it rest for a minute before slicing—this helps the cheese settle.
