  2. Assemble the Sandwiches:

  3. Top and Press:
    • Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards, to create two sandwiches.
  4. Preheat Pan:
    • Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches:
    • Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
  6. Press (Optional):
    • If you have a sandwich press or a heavy pan, you can press down on the sandwiches gently while cooking to achieve a crispier exterior.
  7. Check for Doneness:
      • Check the sandwiches periodically to ensure they are cooking evenly. Adjust the heat if needed.

  9. Slice and Enjoy:
    • Allow the sandwiches to cool for a minute before slicing diagonally or into halves.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey goodness of a classic grilled cheese sandwich!

Note: Feel free to experiment with different types of bread and cheeses to suit your taste preferences. Serve with a side of soup for a classic and comforting combination.
