Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: sourdough bread, sharp cheddar cheese, gouda cheese, and unsalted butter.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer one slice of sharp cheddar cheese followed by one slice of gouda cheese. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side out, to form two sandwiches.

  2. 4

    Grill the Sandwiches

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

  3. 5

    Flip the Sandwiches

    Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
