Ingredients

  • 8 thick slices sandwich bread I used EQUII classic wheat
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese medium or sharp
  • 4 slices Muenster Gouda or Havarti cheese
  • 4 slices Swiss or Gruyere cheese

Instructions

  • Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice, using at least 1/2 tablespoon of butter per slice.
  • Preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium-low heat.
  • Working in batches if necessary, place the bread in the hot pan, butter-side-down. Top the bread with the cheeses. Top the cheese with the second slice of bread, butter-side-up.
  • When the bottom bread is golden brown, flip and cook the second side.
  • Continue cooking on medium-low so the bread toasts slowly. Cook until the bread is a rich brown color and the cheese melts, flipping as needed and pressing down gently to ensure the cheese sticks to the bread. This may take several minutes. Slice diagonally and serve.
