Ingredients
  

Bread and Butter Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread (sliced 1.3–1.5 cm thick)
  • 30 g butter (for spreading on bread) Use salted butter for best flavor.

Cheese Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup vintage cheddar cheese (freshly grated or other melting cheese of choice) Don’t skip the freshly grated cheese; it melts better.
  • 30 g mozzarella (freshly grated)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Butter both sides of each slice of sourdough bread evenly with the salted butter.
  • Heat a heavy-based skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat.
  • Lightly toast both slices of bread in the pan for about 1 minute.

Building the Sandwich

  • Flip one slice of bread over and pile on the cheddar cheese.
  • Follow that up with the mozzarella.
  • Place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese.

Cooking

  • Cook for about 3 minutes, gently pressing down with a spatula occasionally.
  • Once the bottom side is golden and crisp, flip the sandwich and cook the other side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melty.

Serving

  • Transfer the grilled cheese to a cutting board. Cut it in half and enjoy the cheese pull!

Notes

Pair with tomato soup or a light salad for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
