Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. Shred the sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheese if not pre-shredded. Slice the tomato and chop the fresh basil leaves.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

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

Grilling

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the non-buttered side of two slices of bread, layer half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and half of the Gruyère cheese. Add a layer of sliced tomatoes and chopped basil. Top with the remaining cheese and cover with the other two slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

  2. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If needed, press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve with Balsamic Glaze

    Once the sandwiches are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skillet. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and serve immediately.
