Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F) and allow it to warm up for at least 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, olive oil, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Spread the butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help prevent sticking and add flavor while grilling.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, directly onto the hot grill grates. Quickly place two slices of cheddar cheese on each piece of bread, then top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Close the grill lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, checking often to ensure the bread doesn’t burn. Flip the sandwiches carefully using a grill spatula or tongs.
Grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 1-2 minutes before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy your smoky, grilled cheese sandwiches!
