1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients on a clean surface. Slice the tomato and set aside. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces if they are large.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Take two slices of sourdough bread and layer the cheeses (sharp cheddar and Gruyere) evenly on one slice. Add the fresh basil leaves and tomato slices on top of the cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
3
Heat the Pan
In a skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to bubble slightly.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy. While the sandwich is grilling, spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on the top slice of bread.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Once the bottom is golden, gently flip the sandwich using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut in half and serve warm. Enjoy your grown up grilled cheese sandwich!
