Instructions:

- Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread.

- Top with the second slice of bread, making sure the brown sugar side is facing out.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt evenly across the pan.
- Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, place the assembled sandwich in the pan gently. Be sure to keep the brown sugar sides facing out.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling and melting of the cheese.
- Carefully flip the sandwich using the spatula, and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheddar cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute or two.
- Slice the sandwich diagonally if desired.
