🧈 Ingredients
- 2 slices white or sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Butter the Bread
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Add cheese slices on top, then cover with the second bread slice (butter-side up).

Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve
Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve hot. Perfect with tomato soup or ketchup! 🍅
