- Prepare the Bread:
- Lay out the slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place the buttered side of each slice facing down. On two slices, add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese and then a layer of shredded mozzarella. If you’re adding tomatoes, bacon, or any other extras, now is the time to layer them.
- Top and Grill:
- Place the remaining slices of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the hot surface and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, usually about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Press and Serve:
- If you have a panini press, you can use it to press down on the sandwiches for an even crispiness. If not, you can press them down gently with a spatula.
- Serve Warm:
- Once the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove them from the heat. Allow them to cool for a minute or two before slicing.
- Enjoy:
- Serve your homemade grilled cheese sandwiches warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
