2 slices sandwich or sourdough bread
2 oz (55 g) cheddar or other melting cheese
1 tbsp softened butter
Optional: a pinch of garlic powder

Let's make it

Place cheese between bread slices. Butter the outside of each slice.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwich and cover loosely with a lid.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side until evenly golden and the cheese melts. Turn heat down if bread browns too quickly.
Rest for one minute, slice and enjoy.

♡ Bebe's little tip
Low and slow lets the cheese melt before the bread gets too dark.
