Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread, ensuring even coverage.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a clean surface. Layer with 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 slices of mozzarella cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

  3. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve warm.
