🥘 Ingredients

6 items

• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese
• 2 slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Shredded mozzarella cheese

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

2. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread with 1 tablespoon of butter.

3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered side of both slices of bread. Press the cheese gently so it adheres to the butter.

4. Place one slice of bread, cheese-coated side down, into the preheated skillet.

5. Layer the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese slices on the unbuttered side of the bread in the skillet.

6. Top with the second slice of bread, cheese-coated side up, to assemble the sandwich.

7. Cook for 3-4 minutes, gently pressing with a spatula, until the bottom layer of cheese crisps up and turns golden brown.

8. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until golden and crispy on the outside and the cheese inside is fully melted.

9. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly. Cut in half and serve immediately.
