One of the following:

Preparation Instructions:
Butter both slices of bread, depending on your personal preferance you may prefer to butter BOTH sides of the bread.
Load your sandwich with filler, with butter side OUT. It is important that the bread is cooked with the butter side on the grilling surface.
If using a sandwich maker, cook your sandwich as normal.
If using the George Forman style grill, pre-heat as normal and place the bread on a clean grill. Cooking time is approximately three (3) minutes. Cook until golden.
If using a grilling surface, please sandwich on a clean pre-heated section of the grill with the cooking iron on top to compress the sandwich. Grill 1-2 minutes on each side until golden.
If using a clothing iron, place sandwich between two pieces of aluminum foil. Place iron onto sandwich. Cooking time varies depending on the grill, but can be under 2 minutes per side. Monitor progress closely, cook until golden.
