Ultimate Grilled Cheese (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
Two slices of thick sourdough bread
02 -
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
03 -
2 teaspoons of mayonnaise
04 -
3.5 ounces of freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
05 -
1 ounce of freshly grated Gruyère cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Grate both cheeses and slice bread about half an inch thick. Put your skillet on low heat.
02 -
Take 1 teaspoon of mayo and spread it on just one side of each bread piece.
03 -
Melt the butter in the skillet. Place one bread slice mayo-side facing down, stack the cheese on top, and cover with the second piece, mayo-side up.
04 -
Cover the pan and cook for a couple of minutes until the bottom turns a golden color.
05 -
Turn the sandwich over, cover again, and let it cook for another two minutes while the cheese melts and the bottom turns golden.
06 -
Slice the sandwich diagonally and eat right away when the cheese is still gooey.
# Notes:
01 -
Freshly grated cheese melts better every time.
02 -
Mayo makes the outside perfectly crisp.
03 -
Cooking slow on low heat gets the cheese evenly gooey.
