Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Golden, crisp grilled cheese with a gooey middle, cooked low and slow in butter so the cheese melts before the bread burns.

Instructions
Spread one side of each bread slice with butter, right to the edges.
Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Lay two slices in it butter side down, pile the cheese on top, then close with the other slices, butter side up.
Cook slowly until the bottom is deep golden and the cheese has started to melt, 3–4 minutes. Press gently with a spatula.
Flip and cook the second side until golden and the cheese is fully melted, 3 minutes. Rest for 1 minute before cutting so the cheese doesn’t all run out.
Notes
- Shredded cheese melts faster and more evenly than slices.
- Covering the pan for the first minute helps thick sandwiches melt through.
