Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches to pan. Place a cast-iron or other heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until bread is lightly toasted (leave pan on sandwiches while they cook). Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Sprinkle evenly with sugar.
