Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your panini press or a stovetop grill pan to medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of mozzarella cheese on the unbuttered side of two bread slices. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Lightly brush the preheated panini press or grill pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the sandwiches on the panini press (or grill pan if using). Close the press or press down with a heavy pan, and cook for 3-5 minutes on one side until the bread is golden and crispy.
Flip the sandwiches if using a grill pan (skip this step if using a panini press), and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Cheese Panini!
