Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread on a flat surface. On one side of each slice, spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and parsley (if using). Spread this butter mixture on the other side of each slice of bread.
Grate the gruyere cheese and set it aside. This will help it melt evenly when cooking.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place two slices of cheddar cheese and one ounce of grated gruyere cheese between two slices of prepared bread, with the mayonnaise side facing out and the butter side facing in. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
To ensure even melting, press down gently on the sandwiches with a spatula or a small, heavy pan as they cook.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
