Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 small, sliced thin tomato
Directions
Step 1
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will serve as the outer grilling layer for a golden finish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the honey and dijon mustard until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly on the non-mayo side of two slices of bread.
Step 3
Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and 2 slices of gruyere cheese over the mustard-honey side of the bread.
Step 4
Place 2 basil leaves and 2-3 thin slices of tomato over the cheese layers for each sandwich. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side out.
Step 5
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Step 6
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing diagonally. Serve warm and enjoy the melty, crispy goodness!
