Grilled Cheese Sandwich

1. 1

   Butter one side of every slice of bread all the way to the edges.

   💡 Butter the bread, not the pan — you get even browning corner to corner.

2. 2

   Lay two slices butter-side down in a cold frying pan and top each with two slices of cheddar and the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

3. 3

   Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook 4–5 minutes until the underside is deep golden.

   💡 Starting cold and going low gives the cheese time to melt before the bread burns.

4. 4

   Flip carefully and cook 3–4 minutes more, pressing gently with the spatula.

5. 5

   Rest 1 minute, slice diagonally and serve — with tomato soup if you're doing it properly.
