Scale
Ingredients
- 12 slices Sunbeam white bread
- 4 Tbsp butter, melted
- 12 slices American cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF to ensure it is hot enough to crisp up the bread and melt the cheese evenly.
- Butter Bread Base: Brush one side of 6 bread slices with melted butter, then place the slices butter side down on a rimmed baking sheet for a golden, crispy base.
- Add Cheese Layers: Top each buttered bread slice with 2 slices of American cheese, spreading them evenly for good coverage and melt.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place the remaining 6 bread slices on top of the cheese layers, then brush the tops with the remaining melted butter to help brown the sandwich during baking.
- Bake: Bake the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is nicely melted.
Notes
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any melted butter or cheese drippings.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs to the melted butter before brushing.
- Check the sandwiches midway to prevent over browning if your oven runs hot.
- Serve warm immediately for the best cheesy experience.
