I'm not quite sure what you mean. It's simple. Butter one side of two
slices of bread. Put one in the hot pan butter side down. Place cheese
in the middle (ham is also good) and top with the second slice of
bread, butter side UP instead of down. Buttering the bread makes it
come out golden and crispy rather than burnt and dry.
