Four Cheese Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese gets a gourmet twist with this four cheese version featuring tangy goat cheese, gooey cheddar, melty gruyere and smoky gouda for a fancy, flavorful upgrade.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick bread of choice ex. sourdough
- 2 or more tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup gruyere cheese grated
- 4 tablespoons goat cheese crumbled
- ½ cup gouda cheese grated
- 4-6 slices medium cheddar cheese
Instructions
- On a cutting or prep board, butter each slice of bread and grate all the cheeses.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the board for each sandwich and sprinkle ½ cup of grated gruyere evenly on top of the non-buttered side of the bread.
- Add 2 tablespoons of crumbled goat cheese on top of the gruyere.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of grated gouda over the goat cheese, filling in any gaps.
- Add 1 to 1 ½ slices of cheddar cheese on top of the gouda. Tear the slices, if needed, to cover the entire sandwich without going over the sides. Place the top slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
- Preheat a cast iron or other skillet over medium low heat. (No oil or spray is needed.)
- Once the pan is hot, place the sandwich on the pan, leaving the grated gruyere cheese on the bottom. Cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the gruyere has melted. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until the second side is golden brown and all the cheese has fully melted.
Notes
Think 'low and slow' when making grilled cheese. Start with medium low heat. However, if the bread is browning before the cheese is melting, turn down the heat.
