Instructions

1

Prep the Bread

Mix the softened butter and mayonnaise together in a small bowl. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread. The mayo is the secret ingredient that creates an incredibly golden and crispy exterior.

2

Assemble the Sandwiches

Place 2 slices of cheese on the unbuttered side of 2 bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices buttered side facing out on both sandwiches.

3

Cook Low and Slow

Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is deep golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

4

Flip and Finish

Carefully flip each sandwich and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is equally golden and the cheese is completely melted through. Slice diagonally and serve immediately with tomato soup for dipping.

Substitutions

American cheeseGruyere and cheddar blend for a more complex and grown-up cheesy flavor
white breadwhole wheat bread for added nutrition without changing the classic taste kids love

Common mistakes

Cooking on heat that is too high burns the outside of the bread before the cheese inside has time to melt
Using cold butter straight from the fridge tears the bread when spreading and does not coat evenly
