Grilled Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 slices sourdough bread (½-inch thick)
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter (divided)
• ⅓ cup grated aged cheddar cheese ((35g))
• ⅓ cup grated gruyère cheese ((35g))

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Spread one side of each piece of bread with the mayonnaise.

3. 3

   Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the skillet. Once it melts, place one slice of bread mayonnaise side down in the skillet. Top with the cheeses (mound them up!), then the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side up.

4. 4

   Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

5. 5

   Flip the sandwich into the freshly melted butter, then move it to the center of the pan. If the cheese is still mounded up on the inside, press down on the top of the bread with the back of the spatula to flatten it slightly.

6. 6

   Cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, until the bottom piece of bread is golden brown.

7. 7

   Place the sandwich on a wire rack or plate and let it sit for 2 minutes before slicing.
