Place 2 slices white sandwich bread on a cutting board; spread 1 side of each slice with 2 tsp. of 4 tsp. mayonnaise.

Heat a dry small nonstick skillet over medium 2 minutes, then melt half of 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter in pan. Place 1 slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, in pan and top with 3 thin slices American cheese or cheddar (about 2 oz. total); season with freshly ground pepper. Arrange second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up, on top. Cover pan and cook sandwich until golden brown underneath, 3–4 minutes. Turn and add remaining butter to pan. Using a spatula, gently press down on sandwich to encourage even browning and help cheese melt. Cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is melted, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in half on a diagonal.
