Method
01
Butter the bread
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Those buttered sides will face the pan.
02
Fill with cheese
Place two slices butter-side down. Pile on cheese (and a tiny smear of mustard if you like), then top with the remaining slices butter-side up.
03
Grill until golden
Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat until deep golden and the cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Press gently, rest 1 minute, then slice.
