Method
- Slather both sides of each piece of bread with the butter.
- Heat a heavy-based skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Place both pieces of bread in the skillet and lightly toast for 1 minute.
- Flip one slice of bread, then pile on the cheddar cheese followed by the mozzarella. Place the other slice of bread on top, with the toasted side in contact with the cheese.
- Cook for 3 minutes, pressing down lightly with a spatula. If browning too quickly, lower the heat.
- Turn the sandwich over, and cook the other side for 3 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Cut in half and serve.

Notes
The amount of butter and cheese needed depends on the size of your bread. More is generally better. For the best grilled cheese, use a combination of mozzarella for melt and a flavored cheese like cheddar or gruyere. Shredded cheese melts better than slices. Avoid pre-shredded cheese as anti-caking agents can affect melting.
