Equipment
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
sourdough bread (sliced)
2 slice
mild white cheddar (grated)
60 g
young gouda (grated)
30 g
salted butter (softened)
14 g
parmesan cheese (grated)
5 g
garlic powder
0.5 g
Instructions
Prepare the flavored butter
Mix the softened butter, Parmesan and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Heat the skillet
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
Assemble the sandwich
Spread half the butter mixture over one slice of sourdough, then place it butter-side down in the skillet. Add the cheddar and Gouda, top with the second slice of bread and spread the remaining butter mixture over the top.
Cook first side
Cover and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the bottom is deeply golden and the cheese has started to melt.
Flip and cook second side
Flip, cover again and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the second side is crisp and the cheese is completely melted.
Final crisping
Flip it back to the first side for about 30 seconds so both sides are hot and perfectly crisp.
