Ingredients
 

  • 8 Tablespoons 1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
  • 8 slices bread* see note
  • 8 slices cheese of your choice *see note

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a half sheet pan with foil.
  • Spread softened butter on the outside of the slices of bread, all the way to the edges.
  • Add two slices of cheese, making sure the bread is fully covered, and sandwich together.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 5-6 minutes, or until grilled cheese is golden brown on both sides.

Notes

  • We recommend French or Sourdough bread, but a regular white bread or honey wheat also works.
  • Some of our favorite cheese combos include cheddar and havarti, Swiss and Monterey Jack, and Pepper Jack and white cheddar.
  • If you're using a heartier, crusty bread that's sliced thick, you may need to leave the sandwiches in the oven for a few extra minutes.
