• 2 slices bread slices preferably white or sourdough
• 2 slices provolone cheese sliced or shredded
• 1 tablespoon butter for spreading on bread

Method

 

1. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. Place one slice, buttered side down, onto a cold skillet.

4. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. You should see bubbling cheese and a crisp crust.
   
5. Remove the sandwich from skillet once both sides are evenly browned and cheese is thoroughly melted. Let it rest for a minute before slicing if desired.
