Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (your choice: white, whole wheat, or Texas toast)
- 2 slices of American cheese
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons of butter (softened)
- Toppings (optional):
- Grilled onions
- Grilled mushrooms
- Bacon
- Jalapeños
- Ketchup
- Mustard
Instructions:
- Prep the Bread: Spread softened butter generously on one side of each slice of bread. This will give your sandwich that golden-brown crust.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer with the American cheese and Swiss cheese. If desired, add grilled onions, mushrooms, or other toppings at this stage.
- Top It Off: Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
- Grill to Perfection: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, pressing down gently to ensure even cooking. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut the sandwich in half and serve with your favorite dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad.
