Ingredients
2 slices sourdough bread (1/2 inch thick)
2 slices Gouda cheese (about 2 oz total)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place one bread slice, buttered side down, in a cold non-stick skillet. Layer with Gouda cheese slices, then top with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet, let rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a few slices of apple.
Use a cast iron skillet for the crispiest crust.
If cheese isn't melting, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking.
