Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Optional: Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Gruyere cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, and Dijon mustard (if using) until evenly combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, ensuring it reaches the edges for maximum gooeyness.
Place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing outwards, creating a sandwich.
Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even browning and melting.
Flip the sandwich carefully, then cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ooey Gooey Grilled Cheese!
