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 to warm it through and create a light crust.
- 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 hot toasted side in contact with the cheese.
- Cook for 3 minutes or until the bread is evenly golden and crisp, pressing down lightly with a spatula every now and then. If it's browning too quickly, remove from the stove to cool down a bit and lower 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. Admire cheese pull. Devour.

Notes
The amount of butter and cheese you need depends on the size of your bread. Use more rather than less.
For the best grilled cheese, use a combination of mozzarella for its melting qualities with a flavored cheese like cheddar or gruyere. Shredded cheese melts better than slices.
