- Butter the second slice of bread and place butter side up on top of cheese.
- Fry on medium heat until golden brown, turn over and fry other side of sandwich. Remove from heat and spread jelly on the TOP of the sandwich and serve.

DRESSED UP GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES
Steps:
- Preheat a griddle over low heat.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread¿this will give the bread an even golden color when griddled. Flip 4 slices over and layer each with 1 slice Monterey Jack, 1 slice tomato, 1 slice red onion, 1 slice avocado and 1 more slice Monterey Jack. Top with another slice of bread, mayonnaise side up.
- Place the sandwiches on the preheated griddle and toast until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and a good quality mayonnaise.
- Butter the bread generously. This will help the sandwich brown evenly and give it a crispy texture.
- Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help the cheese melt slowly and evenly. If you cook the sandwich over too high heat, the bread will burn before the cheese has a chance to melt.
- Cook the sandwich until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can check this by gently lifting the top slice of bread and peeking inside.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. Grilled cheese sandwiches are best when they are hot and gooey.
