- Slice the cheese: Thinly slice the cheese. You can use more or less cheese depending on your preference.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the cheese slices between two slices of bread, buttered side out. If you're adding any optional toppings like tomatoes or bacon, layer them in between the cheese slices.
- Cook the sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated pan. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. You can cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt faster.
- Flip the sandwich: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side until it's also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Slice it diagonally if desired and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
