Instructions

Step 1: Butter one side of each of the 4 white bread slices evenly with 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter.
Step 2: Turn the bread slices butter-side down. Spread 2 tsp Vegemite thinly over two slices, then top each with 2 oz sliced sharp cheddar cheese evenly.
Step 3: Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, butter side facing out.
Step 4: Heat a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheddar cheese is melted.
Step 5: Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm as a comforting snack or light meal.
