Ingredients

4 slices Sandwich bread
4 slices Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 3

Place 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Top each slice with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.

Step 4

Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly for about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the sandwiches into small 1-inch cubes to create croutons.

Step 8

Serve the grilled cheese croutons warm on top of soups, salads, or enjoy as a snack.
