In a large pan over medium heat, toast the sandwiches, buttered side down, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, placing a heavy skillet on top to press the sandwiches, until the cheese is completely melted, about 3 minutes. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let cool for 1 minute. Trim the crust from each sandwich and cut the sandwiches into 1-inch cubes.
