How to make Grilled Cheese Sandwich

To make this sandwich, simply spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium/low heat. Place one slice of bread in the pan, butter-side down.

Place one slice of cheddar, Gouda, and Edam on top of the bread, then top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.

Cook until golden brown (about 5 – 6 minutes on each side), and the cheese has melted.

Remove to a plate and cut in half to serve.

Repeat with the remaining bread and cheese slices.
