Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 slices gruyère cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, and parsley (if using). Set this spread aside.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of dijon mustard on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the inside of the sandwich.

Step 3

Layer two slices of cheddar cheese and one slice of gruyère cheese on two slices of bread (on the dijon-coated side), and cover each with another slice of bread to form two sandwiches.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

Step 5

Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outside of one side of each sandwich, ensuring even coverage for golden browning.

Step 6

Place the sandwiches butter-side down in the hot skillet. Spread the remaining butter on top of the exposed bread slices.

Step 7

Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting, until the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted inside.

Step 9

Remove from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to settle slightly.

Step 10

Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately. Pair with tomato soup or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
