Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Gouda cheese
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Caramelized onions
- 1 cup Baby spinach
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place the bread slices, buttered-side down, on a clean surface or board. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture.
Layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 1 slice of gouda cheese on each of the slices with the mayonnaise-mustard spread.
Top the cheese with an even layer of caramelized onions and a handful of fresh baby spinach.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered-side facing out, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet and evenly spread it across the cooking surface.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts evenly.
Once 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.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Grilled Cheese Deluxe with a side of tomato soup or your favorite dipping sauce!
