2. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the two slices together to make a sandwich, and spread the softened butter on the outside of the sandwich, ensuring the butter covers the entire surface to the edges.

Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Accompaniments: Pair your sandwich with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for a delightful meal or snack.
- Sides: Serve with fresh fruit, a small salad, or a handful of chips for a complete lunch.
- Toppings: Add sliced bananas or strawberries inside the sandwich before grilling for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage Tips:
- Refrigeration: If you have leftovers (though it’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat to restore crispiness.
- Freezing: You can freeze the ungrilled sandwiches. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw and grill when ready to enjoy.
- Reheating: For the best texture, reheat refrigerated sandwiches in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm and crispy.
