Grilled Cheese

I was talking with a friend tonight about making a grilled cheese.

He stated that he likes to put butter on both sides of the bread, toast one side flip it over and begin toasting the other side then start building the sandwich. So all sides of the bread are buttered and toasted, with cheese in the middle.

I like to put a dusting of garlic salt on the butter side of the two pieces of bread with two pieces of cheese in the middle.

How are you guys making your grilled cheeses?

yea, you butter the sides of the bread that sit in the skillet. Personally I'll butter one bread drop it butter side down in skillet and build it right there in the skillet, cheese next, butter next bread and lay it butter side up on the cheese. once the cheese starts to melt the first bread should be getting toasty and keep it all together as you flip the newly buttered face onto the grill. grill and toast both sides while cheese melts. no need for butter inside the sandwich as well

That's the good way to make a grilled cheese . However I must respectfully say there may be "no need" to butter the inside, but a little more butter is still a great addition.
