How To Make Flavorful Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Make your grilled cheese sandwich stand out by turning it into a flavorful and savory dish. Add generous amounts of onions and mustard for depth.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2largewhole grain sourdough,slices, or your favorite crusty bread
- 1½Dijon mustard,for a thin layer across one slice of bread, about teaspoons
- 1cupsharp cheddar cheese,lightly packed, freshly grated, plus a little more for sprinkling on the outside, optional
- 2tspgreen onion,chopped, green parts only
- 2tspUnsalted butter
Instructions
-
Spread Dijon mustard lightly across one side of one slice of bread.
-
Stir together the green onion into the grated cheese, and set aside.
-
Melt a pat of butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, place the slices of bread into the skillet, with the mustard side facing up.
-
Top the slice with the onion-cheese mix. Then place the remaining slice of bread on top. Cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for several minutes, or until the underside of the bread is golden.
-
Remove the sandwich from the skillet with a spatula, and add another pat of butter to the skillet. Once melted, carefully flip the other side of the sandwich against the buttered pan.
-
Cover and cook until the underside of the bread is nice and golden, and the cheese is all melted.
-
Remove the sandwich with your spatula. Place it onto a cutting board and let it cool for a minute or two. Gently cut it in half down the middle using a serrated knife, and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
- Optional: if you want a cheesy crust on the outside of the sandwich and you’re working with a truly non-stick skillet: Remove the nearly-finished sandwich with a spatula. Sprinkle a bit more grated cheese into the pan in a toast-sized shape, and flip the sandwich back over onto the cheese. Let it cook until you no longer hear any sizzle, and then a few seconds longer.
- If the sandwich is browning fast and the cheese is not yet melting, adjust the heat.
