Buttery sourdough with melted cheeses and honey drizzle for a sweet and savory twist in under 20 minutes.
# Ingredient List:
→ Bread
01 - 4 slices sourdough or country-style bread
→ Cheeses
02 - 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
03 - 2 slices mozzarella cheese
04 - 2 slices Gruyère cheese
→ Spread & Butter

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
02 - Butter one side of each bread slice evenly.
03 - Lay two slices of bread, butter-side down, on a clean cutting board. Layer each with one slice each of cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
04 - Drizzle 1 tbsp honey over the cheese on each sandwich.
05 - Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
06 - Transfer sandwiches to the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
07 - Remove from the pan, slice in half, and drizzle with a little extra honey if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The combination of sharp nutty and mild cheeses creates layers of flavor you cant get from just one variety
- That honey on top transforms something ordinary into something that feels fancy enough for company
02 -
- Low and slow heat prevents burning the bread before the cheese melts
- Let the sandwich rest for one minute after cooking so the cheese sets slightly
03 -
- Use a cast iron skillet for the most even browning
- Mayo instead of butter creates an even crispier exterior
