Calories: 1367kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter very soft
- 1/2 tsp Parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- 4 slices sourdough bread cut 1/2 inch thick
- 1 cup Gouda cheese freshly shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese freshly shredded
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese freshly shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic powder, parsley and salt. Set aside
- Slice bread into ½ inch thick slices
- Spread butter on one side of each piece of bread. Flip the bread over and layer a handful of the gouda, Monterey jack, and cheddar on two slices of bread.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining 2 pieces of bread.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes until bottoms are golden.
- Flip sandwiches over, cover and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden on both sides and sandwiches are heated through and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Use a sturdy bread such as sourdough, ciabatta, etc. Something that won't get soggy easily and will hold its shape.
- Use freshly shredded cheese, not only does this help melt better, it melts quicker and blends with other cheeses better.
- Switch up your cheeses to your preference, the three we have in this recipe is just our favorite combination that we have been loving over the years.
- I highly encourage using the herb butter on the outside, it really gives it the added flavor.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on how many people you are feeding.
