1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and prepare them for assembly. Make sure the butter is softened for easy spreading.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer sharp cheddar, Gruyère, fresh basil leaves, and a generous amount of caramelized onions. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
3
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. You may need to press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
4
Serve
Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup or a simple salad.
