8 slices cheddar cheese
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
Bake in the oven 5-6 minutes, then flip the sandwiches and bake about 5 more minutes, until the sandwiches are golden brown and crispy.

Notes
Substitute your favorite cheese for the cheddar. American, Swiss, mozzarella, and pepper Jack are all good options!
Use parchment paper on your baking sheet for easy cleanup after your meal.
If you haven't made grilled cheese in your oven before, make sure you check it after 3-4 minutes in case your oven runs hot, to avoid burning.
These sandwiches can also be grilled on the stove top in a skillet or on a griddle if you prefer.
