Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the seasoned butter evenly across one side of each bread slice.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto a clean cutting board or work surface.
Top each bread slice with two slices of cheddar cheese.
Cover the cheese with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing down gently with a spatula to promote even browning.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the second side until both sides are golden-brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.
