Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Spatula
  • Grater (for fresh cheese)
  • Butter knife

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread or white/whole grain
  • 2 tbsp salted butter softened
  • ⅓ cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on both sides of each slice of bread.
  • Prepare the Cheese: Mix cheddar and mozzarella together for a rich, melty texture.
  • Toast the Bread: Heat your skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly toast both sides of the bread until golden.
  • Add the Cheese: Place cheese on one slice of bread, then top with the second slice.
  • Grill the Sandwich: Cook for 3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy, pressing lightly with a spatula.
  • Serve Hot: Slice and enjoy immediately for that perfect cheese pull!

Notes

• Always use freshly grated cheese for smoother melting.
• If bread browns too quickly, lower the heat to melt the cheese evenly.
• Customize with bacon, tomato, or avocado for extra flavor.
• Try different breads like rye or ciabatta for unique twists.
