Melt the butter in the skillet/griddle: Place the skillet/griddle over medium heat and add the butter.
Let the butter melt completely. When the butter begins to sizzle, your pan is hot enough for the sandwich.
Spread the butter around the middle of the pan with the spatula.
Rub the bread in the butter: Rub the bread in the melted butter. You only need to rub one side.
Pile the cheese on the bread: Pile the grated cheese in an even layer over the entire surface of the bread. It’s ok to go right up to the edge.
(IF USING THE SKILLET) Cover the pan with a lid. Let the cheese melt until it's almost entirely melted, but you can still see some distinct cheese pieces, 2 to 3 minutes.
Top the sandwich and flip: Top the sandwich with the other piece of bread (buttered side out). Squish slightly so the top adheres to the melted cheese. Flip the sandwich over.
Continue cooking until both sides are toasted: Let the sandwich cook on the other side until toasted golden brown, another Ito 2 minutes. If the first side wasn’t as toasty as you like, flip the sandwich again and toast until golden brown.
Transfer to plate: Transfer the sandwich to a plate, cut in half, and eat immediately.
