- For the Grilled Cheese: divide and spread the butter onto 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 2 slices of bread, butter side down, in a warm pan. Add 4 slices of cheese to each piece. Cover the pan. Once the cheese starts melting, remove the lid and add the remaining slices of bread, making them into sandwiches, with the butter side up. Flip the whole sandwich to toast the other slice of bread. When toasted to your liking, remove from the pan and cut into bite sized pieces. Add grilled cheese croutons to each bowl.
