Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Sourdough Bread
  • 1 TBS Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tsp Mayonnaise
  • 3.5 oz Cheddar, freshly grated
  • 1 oz Gruyère, freshly grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the cast-iron skillet over low heat. As the skillet preheats, slice two 1/2-inch thick slices of sourdough bread and freshly grate your cheese into a bowl or cutting board.
    Use a knife to spread a teaspoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

  • Add one tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and swirl it around until it melts. Place one slice of bread mayo-side down in the pan and sprinkle the cheese on top of the bread. Put the other side of bread on top of the cheese, mayo-side up.

  • Cover the pan with the lid and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is evenly golden brown and crispy.
    Remove the lid and use a spatula to flip the sandwich over. Cover with the lid again and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the bottom is golden brown.
  • Remove from the heat and place onto a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to slice in half and enjoy immediately!
