Instructions

Spread 1/2 Tbsp of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Set a cast iron skillet or heavy non-stick pan over medium/low heat. If using a griddle, it should be at 275˚F. Place 2 slices of bread in the skillet with the butter side down.
Stack cheeses on one piece of toast: cheddar, havarti, then gouda. Once the bread is golden brown, close the sandwich with the crisp sides on the outside.
Continue cooking until the bread is a rich golden brown, flipping once and press down lightly to help the bread stick to the cheese. Total cooking time should one 5-6 minutes. Keep the heat on medium-low for the bread to toast slowly, giving your cheese a chance to fully melt and adhere to the bread.
Once you see the cheese has melted and breads are browned, remove to a plate and cut in half diagonally to serve. Repeat with the next sandwich.

Notes

*We use a combination of medium cheddar, Gouda, and Havarti cheeses, but you can use just one type of cheese. Monterey jack, pepper jack, Gruyere, fontina, Swiss, mozzarella, sharp cheddar or even American cheese will work.
