Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
1. Grate both cheddar and Gruyère cheeses. This will help the cheese melt evenly and quickly while cooking.
2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, softened butter, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. This will be used to coat the bread.
3. Spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture evenly over one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
5. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the pan. Add the grated cheddar and Gruyère cheeses evenly on top of the bread.
6. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up, forming a sandwich.
7. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the bread and cheese adhere. Check occasionally to ensure the bread is golden brown but not burned.
8. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
9. Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to slightly cool and set before cutting.
10. Slice diagonally for a classic presentation, garnish with fresh parsley (if desired), and serve immediately. Enjoy!
