How to Make Basic Cheese Toast

  1. If using, spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
  2. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  3. Top the bread with cheese slices.
  4. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up (if using butter).
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  6. Remove from heat and cut in half (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
