Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (any type: white, whole wheat, sourdough)
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or any preferred melty cheese)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Hot sauce
Directions
Step 1
Place both bread slices on a clean surface or cutting board.
Step 2
Lay the cheese slices evenly on one slice of bread, ensuring they are slightly away from the edges to prevent spilling while melting.
Step 3
If using hot sauce for an extra kick, drizzle it on top of the cheese slices.
Step 4
Top with the second slice of bread to create a sandwich.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the butter and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 6
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the outside of both slices of bread (the sides that will be touching the pan).
Step 7
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 8
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to promote even browning.
Step 9
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 10
Remove from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and slice in half or into quarters to enjoy melty, cheesy bliss!
