Ingredients

• 4 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup, shredded Gruyère cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard onto one side of each slice of bread.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the butter, olive oil, garlic powder, and fresh thyme leaves. Spread this mixture evenly on the outer side of each slice of bread.

Step 3

Place a slice of cheddar cheese onto the mustard-side of two bread slices, and divide the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly on top of the cheddar.

Step 4

Top with the remaining two bread slices, mustard-side facing inward, to create two sandwiches.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, and slice each sandwich in half.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your gourmet ‘Inspired Grilled Cheese’!
