Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 ounces Cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Caramelized onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.1 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Grate the Cheddar and Gruyère cheeses and set them aside.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Ensure the butter is evenly distributed to achieve a crispy and golden crust.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme until smooth.
Step 4
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 5
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on the unbuttered side.
Step 6
Add a portion of the grated Cheddar and Gruyère cheeses evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Then, add half of the caramelized onions on top of the cheese.
Step 7
Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up, to form the sandwich.
Step 8
Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 9
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden and the cheese is completely melted.
Step 10
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Step 11
Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your Special Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
