Ingredients
2 slices white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Butter one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice, buttered side down, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Top with cheddar and Parmesan (if using). Place the second slice on top, buttered side up.
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.
Remove from skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the cheese.
Serve with tomato soup or a side salad for a complete meal.
Use a mix of cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for different textures.
