Do you spread butter on both sides of each slice when you make a
grilled cheese sandwich?

I've only ever made one and I thought that is what he said <g> It was
rather greasy)

Our usual way is toasted cheese sandwich. I butter bread (on the inside)
add cheese and usually sun dried tomato and then grill (broil) on both
sides

When I make a toasted cheese sandwich with fresh tomato, I'll sometimes
dot a little mayonnaise on the tomato, by opening up the sandwich after
toasting and applying the mayonnaise.

If I'm toasting, I don't add butter, though.

You say 'toasted' and not 'grilled'! Do you mean toasted my way, as in
'broiled'??

Yes. I think I was maybe a little confused when I talked about opening
up the sandwich afterward. The cheese faces the heat, and when it's
melted I take it out, add a fairly thin slice of tomato and a bit of
mayonnaise, then put the two halves of the sandwich together.

In fact, I generally make a toasted cheese sandwich with the cheese
all on one side, and just bread on the other.

I take it a step further and make my toasted cheese sandwich open
faced.

Crank it up five times and make a broiled open face cheese with asparagus.

OK ... I think. When I make mine the cheese is in the middle and when I
grill 'broil' it, the cheese melts inside. When I say I 'broil' it, really
what I do is put it into a small oven and take it out when both sides are
browned and the cheese melted!

I generally do mine in a toastie-maker - except when I do french toast
cheese sandwiches.

A better way is to lightly butter the outside of the sandwich and fry it using medium/low heat while covered. Works better than the oven.

If you don't use butter or some kind of oil brushed on the outside, how do
you get that wonderful fried type crispness, as opposed to just toastlike
from broiling?

We don't. It's a completely different sandwich. Both toasted cheese and
grilled cheese have a place in my heart (or, at least, my stomach).

We don't! That was new to me and I will probably explore it more ... but
less butter and none on the inside )

I just lightly brush the side of the bread that goes down in the skillet
with soft butter, I never add butter or anything else but the cheese to the
inside.

I intuited years ago to let the hot pan melt the butter, so I don't "spread" butter on either side.
