    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. Slice the sourdough bread and cheese if not pre-sliced.

Butter the Bread

  1. 2

    Butter One Side

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

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Layer the Cheese

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, place one slice of sharp cheddar cheese and one slice of Gruyère cheese. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper on top of the cheese.

  2. 4

    Top with Bread

    Place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.

Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat the Skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

    Once the skillet is hot, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Flip and Grill

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
