Step 1
Butter one side of each bread slice generously, all the way to the edges.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium-low. Place two slices butter-side down in the pan.
Step 3
Top each slice with half the cheese, then cover with remaining bread butter-side up.
Step 4
Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, ~3 minutes. Watch for a steady sizzle.
Step 5
Flip carefully. Cook the other side until golden brown and cheese melts, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
