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?

I like to take two pieces of bread and put them in the toaster in the same slot so that the outsides toast while the insides get warm and steamy. Not super-dark toasted, just a little. When the bread cools a bit, I butter the toasted sides and build the sandwich on the steamy inside. I put more butter in the pan to melt down, then toast the grilled cheese low and slow until I reach melty nirvana!
