Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat while you prepare your ingredients.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the other side of each slice of bread. This will create an extra crispy and golden exterior during cooking.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the preheated pan.
Layer the two slices of sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top of the bread in the pan.
Top the cheese with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up (buttered side should face outward).
Cook the sandwich for 4-5 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted completely.
Remove the grilled cheese from the pan and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting it in half to serve.
Optional: Serve alongside tomato soup or a simple green salad for a classic pairing.
