• 7 close with the other slice of bread with cheese and gently press down.
• 8 butter the outside of the sandwich with remaining butter before placing on the cooking apparatus.
• 9 if you are using a frying pan or griddle, preheat to medium-high heat.
• 10 place the prepared sandwich on the pan or griddle, then place a small plate on top of the sandwich and then add some weight to the plate (at least a 1 pound bag of legumes) so that the sandwich compacts while cooking.
• 11 cook for about 4 minutes, then turn over and replace the plate and weight and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese begins to ooze out of the sandwich.
• 12 if you are using a cheese sandwich grill or a george foreman grill, then all you do is place the sandwich in the grill, close the cover and let cook until done.
• 13 serve with some sliced dill pickles and a bowl of soup of your choice and a glass of wine if desired (red or ).
