Instructions:

1. Start by cutting each slice of bread and cheese into four equal squares.
2. Then, make mini sandwiches by placing a slice of cheddar and a slice of mozzarella between two pieces of bread.
3. Next, thread the mini sandwiches onto the skewers. Be sure to push the skewer through the center of each sandwich to hold it together.
4. Butter each side of the sandwich skewers.
