Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices gruyere cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
  • 1 small, sliced thin tomato

Directions

Step 1

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will serve as the outer grilling layer for a golden finish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the honey and dijon mustard until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly on the non-mayo side of two slices of bread.

Step 3

Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and 2 slices of gruyere cheese over the mustard-honey side of the bread.

Step 4

Place 2 basil leaves and 2-3 thin slices of tomato over the cheese layers for each sandwich. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side out.

Step 5

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

Step 6

Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 7

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing diagonally. Serve warm and enjoy the melty, crispy goodness!
