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. :)
