If the grill has an infrared burner above the warming rack, preheat the burner on high, with the grill lid open. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Top each buttered side with about 1 teaspoon of cheese. Using tongs position the bread slices on the warming rack (toward the back) just in front of the burner. Cook, with the lid open, until the cheese melts and browns, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so the cheese doesn't burn.
