1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to make the process easier.
2. Heat the Pan: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
3. Butter the Bread: Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the mozzarella cheese evenly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and add fresh basil if desired.
