Grilled Cheese

What you'll need

Ingredients

World’s Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 thick slices white, wheat, or sourdough bread
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 ounces Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar, grated
  • 2 ounces Comté cheese, grated

The method

Directions

  1. 01

    Heat a heavy 12-inch cast iron skillet over low to medium-low heat. Meanwhile, spread ½ teaspoon of mustard on the two bottom slices of bread and then sprinkle evenly with the grated cheeses. Top each with a remaining bread slice, pressing down gently to set.

  2. 02

    Brush sandwich tops completely with half the melted butter; place each sandwich, buttered side down, in skillet. Brush remaining side of each sandwich completely with remaining butter. Cook until crisp and deep golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes per side, flipping sandwiches back to first side to re-heat and crisp, about 15 seconds. Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board and slice in half with a knife. Serve warm.
