Method

DRINKS

  1. 1

    Cheese prep

    If the cheddar and fontina are not pre-sliced, slice them into thin pieces about 1/8 inch thick to promote even melting.

  2. 2

    Bread preparation

    Butter one side of each sourdough slice with about 1 tablespoon of butter per slice.

  3. 3

    Assemble the sandwich

    Place one buttered bread slice in a cold skillet with the buttered side facing down. Layer cheddar and fontina evenly on top, then crown with the second bread slice, buttered side facing up.

  4. 4

    Grill

    Cook over medium heat, pressing gently, for 3–4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Flip carefully to ensure even melting.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
