Step 1
Butter one side of each bread slice generously.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat until a drop of water flicks and sizzles, ~60 seconds.
Step 3
Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet. Lay cheese on top, then the second slice butter-side up.
Step 4
Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, 3–4 minutes. Listen for a gentle sizzle.
Step 5
Flip the sandwich. Cook the other side until golden and cheese melts, 2–3 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
