Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, mayonnaise, and garlic powder until fully combined. Set aside.
Lay 4 slices of sourdough bread on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of Dijon mustard on one side of two of the slices. These will form the interior of the sandwiches.
Divide the sharp cheddar and gruyere cheeses evenly and sprinkle them over the mustard-covered sides of the bread.
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the cheese layer to form two sandwiches.
Spread the prepared butter-mayonnaise mixture evenly over the outsides (top and bottom) of each sandwich. This will ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Once heated, place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
