1)Pick bread and cheese you like. American melts very easily and looks pretty, but is pretty crappy in the cheese department (although still rather tasty). If it's just grilled cheese you're making, I like strong cheese like Cheddar or Colby Jack. If we're talking some other sort of sandwich, something less strong like Swiss or Provolone.
2) Put a little butter in a little sandwich sized pan. Enough to coat the bottom a little when it melts. Medium-ish heat
Pan
2.5) Butter one side of each of your bread pieces while your butter melts a bit. Butter thoroughly and thinly, to the very edges.3) Place a piece of bread butter-side-down on the pan. Place 1-3 slices of your cheese(s) on the piece of bread. Place second piece of bread butter-side-up on cheese.
4) Let it cook for a few minutes (3-5 maybe?). Use a spatula to peek under the corner and check for tasty-looking toasting of the bread.
5) Flip when brown to your liking. Repeat on other side. 2nd side usually cooks faster because I don't let the pan heat up all the way before throwing down my sandwich.
6) Eat when both sides brown to liking. If cheese did not melt well, use a lower temperature for slowing toasting or try a more melty cheese.
