Ultimate Grilled Cheese
The ultimate gourmet grilled cheese with three premium cheeses, fresh tomato, and rustic wheat bread. Perfectly crispy and melted.
Servings: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices rustic wheat bread 3/4 inch thick
- Butter preferably spreadable
- Mozzarella cheese shredded or sliced
- Manchego cheese shredded
- Gruyere cheese shredded
- 1 tomato sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat a cast iron or heavy-bottom oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Slice bread into 3/4 inch slices. Butter one side of each slice evenly for best browning.
- Top the non-buttered side of one slice with mozzarella cheese.
- Layer tomato slices on top of the mozzarella.
- Place the slice buttered-side down onto the preheated skillet.
- Top the tomato with shredded Manchego and Gruyere cheeses.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered-side up.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the sandwich and place the skillet in the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is fully melted and top is golden.
- Remove from skillet, cut in half, and serve immediately with tomato soup.
Notes
A heavy-bottom cast iron skillet ensures even browning and heat retention. Finish in the oven to ensure all cheeses are fully melted throughout the sandwich.
