Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the butter with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the side that faces the skillet.
On the non-mayonnaise side of one slice of bread, spread half of the garlic butter mixture evenly.
Layer the sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese on top of the buttered side.
Spread the remaining garlic butter on the non-mayonnaise side of the second slice of bread and place it butter-side down on top of the cheese layers, forming a sandwich.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet with the mayonnaise-coated side facing down.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.
Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing it in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich!
