Mild cheddar cheese
Butter
Sturdy low-moisture bread

Let’s make it

Step 1
Slice the cheese ⅛-inch thick.
Step 2
Butter the two slices of bread on one side each.
Step 3
Cover a bread slice with cheese, over the unbuttered side. If you leave gaps, distribute them evenly throughout the middle.
Step 4
Finish the sandwich with the other slice of bread; again, buttered side out.
Step 5
Place the sandwich into a cool 2-sided contact-based cooking device, like a sandwich-iron, waffle iron, or a grill intended for cooking burgers. Heat the sandwich.
Step 6
Remove the sandwich when all the cheese has melted and the outside is medium-dark brown and crispy.
Step 7
Eat immediately. If you must set this sandwich down, use a heated plate or a loose paper towel to avoid letting condensation ruin the surface.
