Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs Sourdough bread Cut in half
  • 1-2 tbsp Herb goat cheese
  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese
  • 4 pieces Gruyère cheese
  • 4 pats butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut on slice of sourdough bread in half.
    A loaf of rustic bread, two slices on a wooden cutting board, one being spread with herbed cream cheese using a knife; slices of cheddar and Swiss cheese are nearby.
  • Spread both side of the bread with the goat cheese, using any amount that you prefer.
    A wooden cutting board with two slices of bread spread with herbed cream cheese, a loaf of bread, and several slices of cheddar and white cheese.
  • Layer one side of the bread with the slice of cheddar cheese and with the slices of Gruyère cheese. (I couldn't find Gruyère in slices, so I bought a chunk of these cheese) 4–5 slices off of a cheese chunk is about equivalent to a slice).
    A slice of bread topped with cheddar and Swiss cheese sits on a wooden cutting board, next to another piece of bread with herbed spread and a loaf of bread in the corner.
  • Add the olive oil to a fry pan that has been warmed over medium-heat. I put the pat of butter in the pan and with a knife guide it to melt around the size of the bread slice.
    A slice of rustic, airy bread with a light crust sits on a gray plate, glistening slightly with olive oil underneath.
  • Add the sandwich and cook over medium heat around 4 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Lift the sandwich, with a spatula and melt another pat of butter and flip the other side into the pan. After about 4 minutes, the second side should be beautifully toasted and the cheese should be melted. Be sure to keep your eye on the sandwich, as you don't want it to burn. It can go from golden brown to burnt quickly.
  • Repeat for each sandwich
