Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 8 slices of your favorite sandwich bread
- 8 thick slices of medium cheddar cheese
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Spread butter: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the softened butter over one side of half your bread slices, approximately 1 teaspoon per slice, and place them butter side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Assemble sandwiches: Top each buttered bread slice with a slice of cheddar, then a slice of mozzarella, followed by another slice of cheddar. Spread the remaining butter over the remaining bread slices and place them butter side up on top of the cheese layers to complete each sandwich.
- Bake sandwiches: Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flipping them carefully about halfway through to ensure both sides become golden brown and crispy while the cheese melts perfectly inside.
Notes
- Use thick slices of bread for a sturdier sandwich that holds the cheese well.
- Feel free to substitute cheeses or add extras like tomato slices or cooked bacon for variety.
- Flipping halfway ensures even browning and prevents burning on one side.
- Let the sandwiches cool for a minute before serving to avoid burns from hot melted cheese.
