Method

Butter and assemble

Spread the Unsalted butter evenly over one side of each White sandwich bread slice, making sure to reach the edges so the whole surface browns nicely. Place the 2 slices of American cheese on the unbuttered side of 1 bread slice, then top with the second slice, keeping the buttered sides facing outward.

Heat the pan

Set a skillet over medium-low heat and let it warm up for 2 minutes so the bread starts browning steadily instead of scorching.

Grill the sandwich

Place the sandwich in the warm pan and cook the first side until it is crisp and deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully, then cook the second side until it is equally golden and the cheese is melted all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes more. If the bread is browning faster than the cheese is melting, lower the heat slightly and give it a little more time.

Rest and serve

Move the grilled cheese to a cutting board and let it rest for 1 minute so the melted cheese settles slightly. Slice in half and serve while it is still hot and gooey.
