Gourmet Grilled Cheese
What Ingredients are Needed to Make the Perfect Gourmet Grilled Cheese:
2 slices sourdough bread
1 tablespoon softened butter
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 slices gruyere cheese
2 slices gouda cheese
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons caramelized onions, store bought or homemade
1/2 cup arugula leaves, roughly chopped (or baby arugula)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, to serve
How to Make this Delicious Grilled Cheese Sandwich in a Few Easy Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, parsley, and dried oregano in a small bowl.
- Butter the outside of the slices of sourdough bread. You can also add a little butter to the insides as well.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering the herbed mayo, caramelized onions, gruyere, arugula, and gouda between the non-buttered sides of the bread.
- Preheat your skillet.
- Place the sandwich buttered side down on a non-stick frying pan and cook over medium-low heat. Cook until golden-brown and crispy on both sides, approximately 6-7 minutes per side.
Couple of Grilled Cheese Tips:
Preheat the pan – heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat before adding the sandwich. This ensures that the bread gets crispy and golden without burning.
Cook low and slow – don’t rush the cooking process. Cook the sandwich over medium-low heat to allow the cheese to melt evenly without burning the bread. Covering the pan with a lid can help the cheese melt faster.
Somehow mayonnaise and grilled cheese just go so nicely together, so don’t skip the mayo!
