Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A comforting and easy-to-make grilled cheese sandwich featuring a blend of vintage cheddar and mozzarella for an ooey-gooey experience.
Ingredients
For the Sandwich
- 2 slices sourdough bread, sliced 1.3–1.5cm thick
- 30 g salted butter, for spreading on bread or unsalted + pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup vintage cheddar cheese, freshly grated or Gruyere, or other melting cheese of choice
- 30 g mozzarella, freshly grated
Instructions
Preparation
- Slather both sides of each piece of bread with butter.
- Heat a heavy-based skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Place both pieces of bread in the skillet and lightly toast for 1 minute.
Cooking
- Flip one slice of bread, then pile on the cheddar cheese followed by the mozzarella. Place the other slice of bread on top, with the hot toasted side in contact with the cheese.
- Cook for 3 minutes or until the bread is evenly golden and crisp, pressing down lightly with a spatula every now and then.
- Turn the sandwich over and cook the other side for 3 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Serving
- Transfer to a cutting board. Cut in half and enjoy the cheese pull.
Notes
Serve hot with a side of tomato soup or on its own. For added flavor, consider fresh basil or hot sauce.
