1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Optional: Sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, or avocado

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and tools; preheat your skillet over medium heat.
Spread softened butter generously on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Layer with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses (and optional add-ins). Top with another slice of bread, ensuring both sides are buttered.
Grill until the bottom is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip the sandwich and cook until the other side is also golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, let it rest for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
