Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread (white, wheat or sourdough)
  • 4 slices cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, Gouda or combination)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 slices tomatoes (thin, optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

  2. 2

    Lay out the slices of bread on a cutting board or flat surface. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the preheated skillet or griddle.

  4. 4

    Place one slice of cheese on each slice of bread in the skillet. Arrange 2-3 thin tomato slices on top of the cheese on each sandwich.

  5. 5

    Top each sandwich with another slice of cheese, then place the remaining slices of bread on top, with the buttered side facing up.

  6. 6

    Cook the sandwiches on medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches over with a spatula and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  7. 7

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet or griddle and let them rest for a minute or two before cutting them in half. Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches hot and enjoy!
