- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- Optional “Harrison Ford Twist” ingredients:
- Caramelized onions
- Crispy bacon or prosciutto
- A light smear of Dijon mustard or fig jam
Instructions
- Prep the Bread:
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. The buttered side will be the outside of the sandwich for that golden, crispy finish. - Layer the Cheese:
On the unbuttered side, layer cheddar and Gruyère (or Swiss). Add optional twist ingredients like caramelized onions, bacon, or a light smear of mustard/jam for extra flair. - Assemble the Sandwich:
Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out. - Cook to Golden Perfection:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. - Serve & Enjoy:
Slice diagonally and serve immediately, optionally paired with a bowl of tomato soup or a fresh salad.
