Ingredients

• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 slices Gruyère cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the butter with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the side that faces the skillet.

Step 3

On the non-mayonnaise side of one slice of bread, spread half of the garlic butter mixture evenly.

Step 4

Layer the sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese on top of the buttered side.

Step 5

Spread the remaining garlic butter on the non-mayonnaise side of the second slice of bread and place it butter-side down on top of the cheese layers, forming a sandwich.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet with the mayonnaise-coated side facing down.

Step 7

Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.

Step 8

Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Step 9

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing it in half.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich!
