Description
A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich featuring rich flavors and creamy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (such as brioche or sourdough)
- 6 ounces creamy cheese (such as brie, camembert, or fontina), sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out the slices of bread. Spread the butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice. Place the cheese slices on the unbuttered side of two bread slices. Cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Press slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and let rest for a minute before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with a side of your choice like tomato soup.
Notes
- Use a heavy skillet for even heating and browning.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add extras like caramelized onions for additional flavor.
- For a crispier texture, sprinkle a little Parmesan on the buttered side of the bread before grilling.
- Keep the heat medium-low to ensure the cheese melts perfectly without burning the bread.
