2 tbsp mayonnaise

Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Notes

For a different twist, try substituting Gruyère with brie or cheddar. If you want a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic pairing. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness. Always remember to reassemble fresh for the best results; soggy bread can ruin the experience. Enjoy!
