Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will add a subtle tangy flavor to your grilled cheese.
Step 2
On two of the bread slices, layer two slices of cheddar cheese each. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of each, mustard-side down, to form two sandwiches.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheeses together.
Step 4
Generously butter the outside of both sandwiches with 1 tablespoon of butter per side (total of 4 tablespoons across both sandwiches).
Step 5
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese mixture onto the buttered side of the bread, firmly pressing the cheese onto the surface to help it stick.
Step 6
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 7
Carefully place one sandwich in the skillet, cheese-crusted side down, and sprinkle another 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese mixture onto the now-exposed (top) side of the bread. Repeat with the second sandwich.
Step 8
Cook each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. The shredded cheese should form a golden crust.
Step 9
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, again pressing gently with the spatula.
Step 10
Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Step 11
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately for the ultimate cheesy delight.
