Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough or multigrain bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (optional)
- A pinch of garlic powder
- Fresh herbs (such as basil or chives) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a little butter to melt.
- While the butter is melting, spread the remaining softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. If you’re using mayonnaise, spread some on the other side for an extra crispy texture.
- Once the skillet is heated, place one slice of bread in the skillet, buttered side down. Top it with the cheddar, mozzarella, and crumbled blue cheese, ensuring an even layer.
- Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder over the cheeses for added flavor.
- Next, place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side up, and press down gently with a spatula.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Once both sides are golden and the cheese is perfectly melted, remove from the skillet and let it sit for a minute.
- Slice the sandwich in half, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy the ultimate gourmet grilled cheese experience!
