Coat each slice of bread thoroughly with margarine or butter, making sure every part is coated with a thick layer.

Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a clean surface.

Add two slices of American cheese on top of each of the two slices of bread.

Break the cheese up to cover every part of the bread, especially the ends.

Top each cheese-covered slice with another slice of bread, ensuring the butter is on the outside.

Heat a pan over medium heat.

Add the sandwiches to the pan and cook until browned on the first side.

Flip the sandwiches over and cook until browned on the second side.

If one side of the pan is hotter, flip the sandwiches over twice to ensure even browning.

Once both sides are nice and brown, remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them cool slightly before slicing them diagonally.
