Ingredients

bread
cheese
butter

The bagged mixed cheddar and mozzarella weirdly works best here.

Recipe

1. Butter one side of each slice. That side faces out and crisps in the pan.

2. Pile the cheese between the slices, buttered sides facing out. Keep it in the middle, away from the edges, so it doesn’t pour out.

3. Cook in a dry pan over low-medium heat, covered with a lid, 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden underneath.

4. Flip, press down, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully molten.

Low-medium heat is the trick. Too hot and the bread burns before the cheese melts. The lid traps heat to melt the middle.
Mayo on the outside instead of butter browns even more evenly and won’t catch.
