Instructions

• Grab your butter and spread a tablespoon on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Be generous enough to get those edges well coated.
• Heat your skillet over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking. You’ll know it’s ready when the float valve flickers a bit from the heat.
• Place one slice of bread into the skillet, butter side down. Right away you’ll smell that buttery aroma starting, and your anticipation grows.
• Layer the cheddar cheese over the bread in the skillet. Then don’t forget that hot honey drizzle right on top of the cheese—that’s where the real flavor happens.
• Take the second slice of bread and place it on top, butter side up so the skillet cooks that top golden brown too.
• Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes without moving it around. Watch for those steam cues coming off the sandwich, a sure sign the cheese is melting nice.
• Carefully flip the grilled cheese with your spatula. Cook the other side until it’s golden and the cheese is all melty inside, another 3 minutes or so.
• Pull the grilled cheese off the skillet and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. This keeps the cheese from oozing everywhere and makes it easier to handle when you bite in.
