Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Method

Preparation of Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by caramelizing the onions in a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown. Chop the fresh basil leaves roughly and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of Texas toast. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the Mt. Tam cheese, Wagon Wheel cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh basil. Top with the remaining slices of Texas toast, buttered side up.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
