Build the sandwiches directly on the grill by putting 1 slice of bread on the pan, making sure the bread gets moistened with the butter.

Repeat for the rest of the sandwiches, gently pressing down each sandwich with a spatula.

After the cheese begins to melt a bit, check the bottom of the sandwich for color and if golden brown, gently flip.
