Chef's Notes
Use room temperature butter for easier spreading and even coverage
Don't rush the cooking process—medium heat ensures the cheese melts completely without burning the bread
For extra crispy edges, sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan on the buttered side before cooking
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a cup of tomato soup for the classic pairing, or alongside a simple green salad for a complete meal. Perfect for lunch boxes, quick dinners, or game day snacks.
