Ingredients
4 people
- 8 pcWhite bread (thick slices)
- 240 gCheddar cheese (thinly sliced or grated)
- 80 gSalted butter (softened)
- 8 pcSandwich bread (slices)
Method
Two butter-browned bread slices enclosing a melting, gooey cheese heart. The crust snaps under the teeth while the center remains soft and warm.
- 1
Spread the salted butter generously on one side of each slice of sandwich bread. This buttered side will be in contact with the pan to achieve even browning.
- 2
Place the cheddar on the unbuttered side of one slice. Close with the second slice, buttered side facing out. The cheese should be well distributed to the edges.
- 3
Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in. Press lightly with a spatula. When the bread is golden and crispy, flip. The cheese should start to ooze out the sides.
