Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. Place one slice of sourdough bread butter-side down in the skillet. Optionally, add Dijon mustard on the unbuttered side.
  4. Layer several slices of the roast beef followed by two slices of sharp cheddar cheese.
  5. Top with another slice of sourdough bread, buttered side up, and press down gently.
  6. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
  7. Flip the sandwich over and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Check for doneness; the sandwich should be beautifully toasted and the cheese fully melted.
  9. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then cut into halves or quarters.
