Fancy Grilled Cheese

Submitted by SJBisanz

"This is your typical grilled cheese sandwich; until you add Herbs de Provence . This puts it way over the top. Also; you want to use 2 types of cheeses. I have used cheddar, gruyere, havarti, asiago, colby, Italian blend, triple cheddar blends and more. As long as you have a variety; it works really well. If using shredded cheese; substitute 1/4-1/3 cup of shredded cheese for 2 slices of cheese."

 

• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 1 sandwich
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 slices white cheese, any flavor
• 2 slices yellow cheese, any flavor
• 1 teaspoon herbes de provence

directions

1. Lay your slices of bread out and lightly spread butter on one side of each.
2. Place all the cheese on one slice of bread. Place the buttered side of the other slice on top of the cheese.
3. Lightly butter the slice of bread showing.
4. Sprinkle half of the herbes de provence on the buttered side.
5. In a medium-hot non-stick pan, lay your sandwich, buttered side down. If it sizzles loudly; the temperature is too hot; lower it.
6. Wait 1 minute; then lightly press the sandwich down. Spread butter over the last exposed slice and sprinkle the remaining herbes de provence on top.
7. Depending on your temperature; your first side should cook in about 4-6 minutes. Check the edges for browning. Then flip it over and cook the 2nd side for approximately the same amount of time.
8. More or less cheese can be used depending on your preference. You can also melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan to help prevent sticking.
