I would use a slightly different spread for toasting - try olive oil with a little garlic or mayo instead of butter. What I like doing is adding a little grated parmesan cheese to the buttered side, and maybe some kind of seasoning (garlic powder, italian seasoning, cayenne, etc...) before putting on the griddle. It gives the crust a little more crunch and definitely a more "grown up" taste.
If you have some lunch meat, bacon or other leftover meat (roast chicken, pot roast, etc...) you can try adding a little of that as well. You might want to slightly heat the meat before adding to the sandwich.
I also like using different types of cheese inside or mixing two flavors of cheese. I have tried asiago cheese spread, and swiss and other flavors as well. Last night I did some up with a buffalo flavored cheddar and a garlic white cheddar cheese with some ham and the parmesan crust. Very yummy.
