Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons salted butter room temperature
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 lices sourdough bread
- 3 lices mozzarella cheese
- 3 lices mild white cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Blend the butter and grated Parmesan cheese together until equally mixed. Set aside.
- On one side of the bread, place one and a half pieces of mozzarella cheese. On top of the mozzarella cheese, place one and a half slices of cheddar cheese. Top the cheese with another slice of bread. Repeat this step for the second sandwich.
- Butter the outward facing pieces of bread with the butter and Parmesan cheese mixture.
- Place a griddle over medium heat. When the griddle is hot, put the sandwiches onto the griddle and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the first side is brown.
- Flip the sandwiches and tent with aluminum foil, reducing the heat to medium low. Cook until the second side is brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Notes
- To make sure the heat is evenly distributed when cooking, use a flat griddle or skillet rather than a pan with raised sides that might cause hot spots in certain locations of your sandwiches as they cook.
- When tenting your sandwiches before flipping them over for the second side, be sure not to cover them too tightly so that steam won’t build up inside and prevent proper browning from taking place while they cook through on the other side!
- Let your sandwiches set at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes so they cook more evenly.
- Preheat your griddle over low heat, then increase it to medium heat after putting on the sandwiches for perfectly golden brown grilled cheese.
- Always soften your butter for easy combining and to avoid tearing the bread.
