Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough or white bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
- 1 ounce mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice with 1 tablespoon butter each.
- Place one slice, buttered side down, in a cold non-stick skillet. Layer cheddar and mozzarella evenly on the bread.
- Top with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
- Cook over medium-low heat until bottom is golden brown and cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes.
- Flip carefully and cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes more.
- Remove from skillet, let rest 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve.
Tips
- Use a mix of cheeses for better melt and flavor.
- For extra crispiness, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside instead of butter.
- Serve with tomato soup for a classic pairing.
