Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat while you prepare your ingredients.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Set aside.
Step 3
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the other side of each slice of bread. This will create an extra crispy and golden exterior during cooking.
Step 4
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the preheated pan.
Step 5
Layer the two slices of sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top of the bread in the pan.
Step 6
Top the cheese with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up (buttered side should face outward).
Step 7
Cook the sandwich for 4-5 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted completely.
Step 9
Remove the grilled cheese from the pan and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting it in half to serve.
Step 10
Optional: Serve alongside tomato soup or a simple green salad for a classic pairing.
