2 slices of bread
Butter
1–3 slices of easy-to-melt cheese, such as cheddar, gouda, Limberger, American (or shredded cheese to taste)
Other ingredients as necessary (see variations below)

Make it lactose-friendly

Butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
1–3 slices of easy-to-melt cheese, such as cheddar, gouda, Limberger, American (or shredded cheese to taste) → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Heat a skillet, frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
Spread butter on the bread, and place both pieces of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.
When the butter sides of both have browned (check periodically), flip one over and place cheese on top, then place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese (again, butter side down).
Compress the sandwich by pressing on it with a spatula.
Once the bottom side of the sandwich is browned sufficiently, flip the sandwich over. When both sides are browned, take off heat, cut, and serve.
Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
Spread butter on both sides of the bread slices.
Sandwich the cheese and fillings between the bread slices, and transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, flip, and bake another 5–10 minutes or to taste.
