Grate the cheddar cheese. Brush one side of each bread slice with 1 teaspoon olive oil.

Use care when grating the cheese to avoid contact with the sharp grater.

2

Assemble the sandwich in the skillet

Place one bread slice oil-side down in a medium skillet. Distribute the grated cheddar evenly over the bread, then top with the second slice oil-side up.

3

Cook the first side

Set the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, gently pressing once with the spatula, until the underside is crisp and golden.

Keep the skillet handle turned away from the edge of the stove.

Use the spatula to press the sandwich and avoid contact with the hot skillet and oil.

4

Flip and cook the second side

Use a spatula when flipping the sandwich to avoid contact with hot oil and melted cheese.

5

Rest, cut, and serve
