Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

Uncover, and turn the sandwiches with a spatula, pressing firmly to flatten them slightly.

Cook 1 minute or until the underside is golden brown.
-
Turn the sandwich again, press with spatula, and cook for 30 seconds, or until the cheese has completely melted.
