Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help create a golden and crispy exterior.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, gruyère cheese, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Place one slice of sourdough bread onto the skillet, mayonnaise side down. Add two slices of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the bread.
Add half of the shredded cheese mixture on top of the cheddar. Cover with another slice of sourdough bread, mayonnaise side up.
Press the sandwich gently with a spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, reducing heat slightly if needed so the cheese fully melts without burning the bread.
Repeat the process for the second sandwich using the remaining ingredients.
Once both sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting into halves or quarters.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot with your favorite soup or dipping sauce.
