Sourdough Grilled Cheese

Who could resist a delicious, gooey grilled cheese sandwich? Elevated with crisp sourdough, this easy comfort recipe will transport you right back to your childhood after the very first bite!

What Makes This Recipe So Good

• Sourdough grilled cheese puts a simple but slightly-fancy twist on a classic grilled cheese. The sourdough crisps up beautifully thanks to a little butter (and mayo!), and the blend of melty cheeses is flavorful and rich and absolutely wonderful.
• You can keep things basic and only use cheese in your sandwich, but I implore you to get a little creative. Add strips of grilled chicken or thin slices of turkey. Layer the cheese with tomato and basil. Add bacon jam or pesto. The possibilities are truly endless!

Chef’s Tips

• For the best ever sourdough grilled cheese, you absolutely HAVE to cook it low and slow! Medium-low heat is the key to a completely melty grilled cheese that’s not burnt or charred. If you feel like your bread looks done but your cheese isn’t melted, cover the pan with a lid for a minute or two. You’ll capture all that heat and channel it right into the cheese.
• You’ll want the butter to be soft for easy and even spreading. If you normally keep your butter in the fridge, take it out at least one hour before making your grilled cheese. If you forget, just put some butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds and it’ll be good to go!
• We’re using tasty swiss and cheddar cheese for this recipe. If you want to substitute any other cheeses like muenster or havarti, go for it! Just keep in mind that harder cheeses like parmesan don’t melt as easily as others. You can still use it, of course, I’d just recommend to have it shredded instead of sliced. It’ll melt better that way!
