Ingredients

• 4 slices Sourdough bread
• 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 3 tablespoons Salted butter
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 0.25 cups of grated Parmesan cheese until combined.

Step 2

Spread the mixture evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will become the exterior crust of your grilled cheese.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 4

Melt 1 tablespoon of salted butter in the skillet, making sure to coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Place two slices of sourdough bread, crust-side down, onto the skillet.

Step 6

Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese on each piece of bread, followed by 0.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese per sandwich.

Step 7

If desired, add basil leaves and a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Step 8

Top each stack with the remaining slices of sourdough bread, with the Parmesan-mayonnaise crust facing up.

Step 9

Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.

Step 10

Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed to ensure even browning of the bread.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.

Step 12

Serve immediately. Pair with tomato soup for a classic combo or enjoy on its own!
