Servings (click & slide): 4 sandwiches
Calories per serving: 633kcal
Cost per serving: £2 / $2.50
Equipment
- Non-Stick Pan
- Plastic Spatula
- Cheese Grater
Ingredients
- 8 medium slices of Bread (something firm like Sourdough works well)
- 2 cups / 200g Cheddar, grated (for the crust)
- 1 cup / 100g Gruyere, grated (or cheese of choice)
- 1 cup / 100g Mozzarella, shredded (or second cheese of choice)
- Butter, as needed
Instructions
- Butter one side of each of the slices of bread. Flip half of them over so they're butter-side-down. On those slices add gruyere/mozzarella then add the other slice of bread butter-side-up.
- In batches, add the sandwiches to a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once golden on the bottom, flip them over and sprinkle cheddar over the top. Press down the cheese into the toasted bread.
- Once the other side is golden, carefully flip it over so it's cheese-side-down. Add cheese to the top and gently press down. Leave to fry until the cheese turns deep golden and attaches to the bread, then carefully flip over and leave the other side to fry until golden/crispy.
- Repeat then serve up and enjoy!

Notes
a) Cheese for the crust - Cheddar works best for flavour and texture. I have tried parmesan which works pretty well, so that'd be my second choice. I have tried mozzarella but found it didn't crisp up quite as well and burns pretty quick.
b) Cheese for the filling - You can really use any cheese you fancy. In fact most grilled cheese fillings will work, so check out my Grilled Cheese Recipes!
c) Serving - They'll crisp up slightly as they cool. To serve I usually go with Tomato Soup.
