Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread (or preferred bread)
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Place the slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice, ensuring an even coating.
On the unbuttered side of half the slices, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder on the mayonnaise if desired for extra flavor.
Evenly distribute the shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the mayonnaise-coated side of two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place one sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat the process for the second sandwich. Lower the heat slightly if needed to prevent burning.
Once both sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
