Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda work great
  • 1 slice ripe tomato optional

Equipment

  • Spatula
  • Non-stick skillet or frying pan
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and let the butter soften.
  2. Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. Place a generous amount of shredded cheese between the two slices of bread, buttered sides facing outward.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the sandwich to the pan.
  5. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then flip carefully using a spatula.
  6. Once both sides are toasted, remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for a minute before slicing diagonally.

Notes

For added flavor, swap regular butter with garlic butter or use olive oil. You can make this dish dairy-free with vegan cheese or by adding avocado slices. If you have leftovers, wrap your sandwich tightly and store it in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, avoid the microwave; instead, use a skillet or toaster oven for best results. Experiment with different cheeses for a richer taste and don’t rush the cooking process for the perfect golden crust!
