Waffle Iron Grilled Cheese Sandwich

By Leite's Culinaria

Ingredients

1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
2 pieces good bread ((and by good, we mean really, really good))
2 to 3 ounces fontina, Gruyère, or raclette cheese (sliced or grated)
Sea salt ((optional))

Instructions

Heat a waffle iron.

Butter both slices of bread on 1 side. Place 1 bread slice, butter side down, on the waffle iron. Layer on the cheese and top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.

Close the waffle iron, but don't press it down, and let the sandwich cook for about 2 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and crisp at the edges. If you like your grilled cheese bordering on burnt, leave it in for up to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
