Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 slice mozzarella cheese

Method
 

  1. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Place one slice butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Layer the cheddar and mozzarella on top, then add the second slice butter-side up.
  4. Cook for three minutes until golden, pressing down gently.
  5. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Cut in half and eat while it's hot and gooey.

Notes

Low and slow heat melts the cheese fully without burning the bread.
