Heat a heavy pan to medium heat. Butter one side of your bread and place buttered side down in the pan. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the cheese onto the bread, and spread around so it’s evenly dispersed. Butter the other piece of bread and place it, unbuttered side down on the cheese. Grill each side for about 2 minutes until the bread is toasted and crunchy. Optionally, sprinkle each side with garlic powder during the toasting process.
Notes
Storage and Reheating
The grilled cheese sandwiches are best fresh. You could reheat in a microwave, or over low heat in a frying pan if need be.If you have extra cheese, you can store it in sealed container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Heat it over low heat, stirring to remove any thickened or curdled looking bits.
