2 slices white bread, ¾” thick
¼ lb semi-hard cheese (e.g., mozzarella, Gouda, Gruyère, or Emmental), thinly sliced
1 ½ tablespoons salted butter, divided
Place the cheese on one slice of bread, then top with the other slice to form a sandwich. Preheat the pan over medium heat for about 90 seconds. Add half the butter and swirl to coat evenly.
Once the butter melts and begins to foam, turn off the heat and place the sandwich in the pan.
Turn the heat back on and toast over extra low heat for 2 minutes while gently pressing down with a spatula. Once the bread turns golden brown, flip the sandwich. Add the remaining butter and spread it evenly across the pan.
Toast the other side for 2 minutes over extra low heat, pressing gently as it cooks. Flip the sandwich again and toast for another minute on each side. Flipping several times ensures the cheese is fully melted and heated through.
