Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 pepper Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Adobo sauce
- 1 sprig Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, finely chop the chipotle pepper and combine it with the adobo sauce and mayonnaise. Mix well to create a chipotle mayo spread.
2. Spread the chipotle mayo evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
3. Place one slice of sourdough bread, chipotle mayo side up, on a clean work surface. Lay the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese slices on top of it.
4. Top with the second slice of sourdough bread, chipotle mayo side facing down, to make a sandwich.
5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add half the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
6. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
7. Flip the sandwich carefully, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
8. Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing it in half.
9. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for a bright and fresh touch to balance the spice.
10. Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Cheese Chipotle Sandwich!
