- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese between the bread slices, with the buttered sides facing outward.
- Lightly spread additional butter over the outside surfaces of the sandwich.
- Secure the sandwich with a toothpick through the center to prevent it from shifting during cooking.

- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
