Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices Italian bread
  • ⅔ cup sharp cheddar (freshly shredded)
  • ½ tbsp butter

Method
 

  1. Set a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Butter the outer sides of the bread while the pan heats up.
  2. Set the bread in the center of the pan, buttered side down. Move them about a bit to ensure the bottoms are evenly coated with butter. Then, top each slice with half the cheese.
  3. Add a tbsp of water to the edge of skillet, then cover for about a minute. The water will steam to help melt the cheese faster.
  4. Once the cheese has melted a bit, carefully flip one slice onto the other. Cover again for about a minute, then flip again. Continue flipping until the sandwich is finished cooking.
