Golden Duo Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices white sandwich bread
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices mature cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread:
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. The butter should be soft enough to spread easily without tearing the bread.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Place 2 slices of the buttered bread, buttered side down, on a flat surface. Layer 2 slices of mozzarella cheese followed by 2 slices of mature cheddar cheese on each. Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over the cheese for added flavor.

3. Complete the Sandwich:
Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side up. Gently press the sandwiches together.

4. Heat the Pan:
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. It's essential to use the correct heat to ensure a perfectly golden crust without burning the bread.

5. Grill the Sandwiches:
Once the skillet is ready, place the sandwiches in the pan. Grill each side for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. You may need to press down lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melting.

6. Serve:
Remove from the skillet once cooked, and let them rest for a minute to set. Slice diagonally for visual appeal and ease of eating.
