Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cheese
Equipment
- Toaster oven
- Cooking rack
- Baking tray
- Butter knife
- Oven mitts
Instructions
- Step 1: Adjust the cooking rack of the toaster oven and position the baking tray on the lower rack. Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
- Step 2: Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, place the cheese and form a sandwich by pressing the slices together, buttered sides facing out.
- Step 3: Place the assembled sandwich on the oven tray and cook for 3–4 minutes.
- Step 4: Remove the tray, carefully flip the sandwich, and return it to the oven to cook the other side evenly.
- Step 5: Once both sides are golden and crisp, use oven mitts to remove the tray. Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot.
Notes
Darker trays heat faster, so reduce cooking time or temperature to avoid burning.
You may use white, brown, or multigrain bread—each brings a slightly different texture and flavor.
Adjust oven temperature based on type: 350–450°F depending on conventional, convection, or air fryer-style toaster ovens.
Feel free to include apple slices, vegetables, or any preferred add-ins for more flavor.
