Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon thyme (or try basil)
6 slices bread (whole wheat is good)

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter and thyme. Spread over one side of each bread slice with the butter mixture.
  • Place 3 slices in the pan, buttered side down. Top with the cheese, then with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
  • Cook, turning once, until toasted on both sides, 3-5 minutes per side.
