Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Lay out the sourdough bread slices on a clean work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice.
Place 2 slices of Cheddar cheese on top of the dressing on two of the bread slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down, to form sandwiches.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each sandwich.
Place the sandwiches, butter-side down, in the preheated skillet. Spread the remaining butter on the top side of each sandwich while the bottoms are cooking.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Slice each sandwich in half, serve warm, and enjoy!
