Four Cheese Grilled Cheese (Print Version)
Golden bread and a rich four-cheese blend make the ultimate melty, savory sandwich.
# Ingredients:
→ Bread and Butter
01 -
4 slices thick-cut bread
02 -
2 tablespoons salted butter, softened, plus more as needed
→ Cheese
03 -
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
04 -
4 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
05 -
1/2 cup grated gouda cheese
06 -
4 to 6 slices medium cheddar cheese
# Steps:
01 -
Spread softened salted butter generously over one side of each bread slice. Grate the gruyere and gouda cheeses; crumble the goat cheese.
02 -
Place two bread slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup grated gruyere over each slice. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese atop the gruyere. Add 1/4 cup grated gouda to each. Layer 1 to 1 1/2 slices of medium cheddar over the gouda, tearing slices if needed to create a complete cheese layer.
03 -
Position the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing up, to close the sandwiches. Preheat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
04 -
Set the assembled sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottoms are golden brown and the gruyere begins to melt.
05 -
Flip the sandwiches and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes until the second side is golden and all cheese is fully melted. Transfer to a cutting board, slice, and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For best melting and texture, bring all cheeses to room temperature before assembling the sandwiches.
