Sourdough Grilled Cheese Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 slices sourdough bread ( I got a fresh sourdough bread with rosemary from HEB's bakery )
2 tablespoons butter softened, divided ( I use Kerry Gold brand )
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices swiss cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise divided ( I used light mayo )

Directions:

Heat large skillet over medium-low heat.
While skillet warms, spread 1 tablespoon softened butter on one side of each piece of bread.

Place 1 slice of cheddar and 1 slice of swiss ( each cheese divided to make to pieces ) on top of one slice of buttered sourdough. Top cheeses with another slice of buttered sourdough, with buttered side facing cheeses. Repeat with remaining bread and cheese to form second sandwich.

Spread ½ tablespoon mayonnaise on outside of top piece of sourdough for each sandwich. Place sandwiches in warm skillet, mayonnaise-side down, and spread another ½ tablespoon mayonnaise on outside of bread facing up.

Cook sandwiches 3 to 4 minutes, then flip sandwiches over and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve warm as-is or with desired sides such as tomato soup.

Note: If your bread is cooking faster than the cheese is melting, cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes.

Serve with any desired side or my kid's favorites tomato soup. Enjoy and follow for more.
