Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your panini press or a stovetop grill pan to medium heat.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 3
Place a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of mozzarella cheese on the unbuttered side of two bread slices. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Step 4
Lightly brush the preheated panini press or grill pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the sandwiches on the panini press (or grill pan if using). Close the press or press down with a heavy pan, and cook for 3-5 minutes on one side until the bread is golden and crispy.
Step 6
Flip the sandwiches if using a grill pan (skip this step if using a panini press), and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly before slicing in half.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Cheese Panini!
