Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices (sourdough or white sandwich bread)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese onto a plate, then press the buttered side of one bread slice into the Parmesan to coat it evenly. Repeat with the second slice of bread.
Flip the slices over and set them aside with the uncoated sides facing up.
In a small bowl, mix together shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Place one bread slice into the skillet, Parmesan side down. Quickly top the uncoated side with the shredded cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
Place the second slice of bread on top, Parmesan side up, pressing gently.
Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the Parmesan crust is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the Parmesan crust is golden and the cheeses inside have melted completely.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness with a crispy Parmesan crust.
