Ingredients

Scale

4 slices artisanal sourdough bread
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary), chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Generously spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet and layer with grated cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
Cook until the bottom is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip and press down gently for even melting.
After another 3-4 minutes, check if the cheese has melted completely. If not, cook for an additional minute.
Remove from the skillet and slice into triangles or squares. Serve warm alongside fresh fruit or a light salad.

Keywords: Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyère or Monterey Jack for added creaminess. For extra flavor, consider adding sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon. Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the fridge and reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
