Method
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Set a cast iron skillet or heavy non-stick pan over medium/low heat. If you use a griddle, set the temperature to 275°F. Place two slices of bread in the skillet with the butter side down.
- Stack the cheeses on one piece of toast: place cheddar, then havarti, then gouda. Once the bread is golden brown, close the sandwich with the crisp sides facing out.
- Continue cooking until the bread is a rich golden brown. Flip the sandwich once and press down lightly to help the bread adhere to the cheese. The total cooking time should be 5 to 6 minutes. Keep the heat on medium-low so the bread toasts slowly, which gives the cheese time to fully melt.
- When you see the cheese has melted and both bread sides are browned, remove the sandwich to a plate and cut it in half diagonally to serve. Repeat this process with the remaining bread and cheese.

Notes
This recipe uses a combination of medium cheddar, Gouda, and Havarti cheeses, but you can use just one type of cheese if you prefer. Monterey jack, pepper jack, Gruyere, fontina, Swiss, mozzarella, sharp cheddar, or American cheese will also work well.
