Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take 2 slices of sourdough bread and place 2 slices of American cheese and 2 slices of Apple Jack cheese between them to form a sandwich.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    In a skillet or frying pan, heat over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Use a spatula to press down slightly for even cooking.

  2. 4

    Flip and Finish

    Carefully flip the sandwich and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Grill the second side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, and then slice it in half. Serve warm.
