Method
- Slather both sides of each piece of bread with the butter. Cover all four sides.
- Heat a heavy-based skillet or frying pan over medium low heat. Do not add oil or butter. Place both pieces of bread in the skillet and lightly toast for 1 minute to warm them through and create a light crust.
- Flip one slice of bread. Pile the cheddar cheese onto the bread, followed by the mozzarella. Place the other slice of bread on top, ensuring the hot toasted side contacts the cheese.
- Cook for 3 minutes or until the bread is evenly golden and crisp. Press down lightly with a spatula occasionally. If the bread browns too fast, remove it from the heat briefly to cool and lower the stove temperature.
- Turn the sandwich over. Cook the other side for 3 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board. Cut it in half in one motion and eat immediately.

Notes
The amount of butter and cheese you need depends on the size of your bread. Use more butter and cheese rather than less.
For the bread, choose a type that is not too thick, too thin, or too soft. Sourdough works well, but avoid loaves with very thick, hard crusts.
For the best melt and flavor, use a combination of mozzarella for texture with a flavored cheese like vintage cheddar or gruyere. Grate your own cheese; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent a good melt.
