I get a lot of butter taste.  It pairs beautifully with the flavor

That's what I do, Cindy; melt the butter in the pan rather than spread it on the bread.  Add more butter when turning the sandwich.  Sometimes I'll heat a little olive oil along with the butter (allegedly more healthy).  This method wouldn't work for those who use an air fryer to make a grilled cheese sandwich (something I have yet to try).

 I like to use olive oil and have found the best way to spread it evenly is to drizzle it into the pan and brush it around in an area large enough for the bread.
 

I don't really see the need for a brush.  I use a small non-stick skillet and swirl it around (with the butter as it melts).  I've never tried it with only olive oil.  Doesn't seem like it would taste as good without the butter.  If I were making two grilled cheese sandwiches at a time I'd use a slightly larger non-stick skillet. :)
