Ingredients
For this ultimate grilled cheese recipe, you'll need:

- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter or mayonnaise
Instructions
1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place one slice, butter-side down, in the skillet.
3. Add your cheese slices to the top of the bread in the skillet.
4. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt.
6. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the second slice of bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
7. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
