Instructions

Step 1: Spread 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter evenly on one side of each of the 4 slices of white sandwich bread.
Step 2: Flip the bread slices so the buttered side is down. Spread 1 tablespoon Vegemite evenly over the unbuttered side of 2 slices.
Step 3: Top each Vegemite-spread slice with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices, butter side up, to form sandwiches.
Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then cut diagonally and serve warm.
