Method
- Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, reaching the corners. Place two slices butter-side down on a plate to form the sandwich bases.
- Place cheese on each bottom slice (about 2 slices per sandwich). Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side facing up.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat for about 1 minute. The pan is ready when a tiny crumb sizzles gently.
- Cook the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side without pressing hard. When golden brown, flip carefully with a wide spatula and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Lower heat if the bread browns too quickly; the cheese should be fully melted.
- Remove from the pan and rest for 1 minute. Slice diagonally and serve warm.

Notes
Cook over medium-low heat so the bread toasts slowly while the cheese melts. Spread softened butter evenly to the corners for the best golden crust. For extra melt and stretch, use a cheddar + mozzarella mix. Optional fillings (like tuna, chicken, eggs, tofu, spinach, tomato, or mushrooms) should be well-drained and used sparingly so the sandwich stays crisp—not soggy. Let the sandwich rest 1 minute before slicing so the cheese sets slightly.
