Servings 1 person

Ingredients

  

• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 3 tbsp Mayonnaise (evenly spread)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 30-60 Grams Sharp Cheddar (adjust according to size of the bread)
• 30-60 Grams Gruyère (adjust to size of bread)
• 20-30 Grams Butter for the pan

Instructions

 

• Place the bread slices on a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of mayo on one side of each slice.
• Flip one slice of bread and spread Dijon mustard on the other side.
• Layer the grated cheddar and Gruyère or Raclette cheeses on top of the mustard.
• Place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese, with the mayo side facing out.
• Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Melt enough butter in the pan to coat the bottom.
• Place the sandwich in the pan, cover, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crisp.
• Flip the sandwich, replace the lid, and cook for another 1 to 3 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Reduce the heat to low if the bread browns too quickly before the cheese melts.
• Slice and serve immediately.
