STEP 1: PREP INGREDIENTS

  1. Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outside of the sandwich that gets grilled to golden perfection.
  2. Mix the Cheeses: In a bowl, mix the shredded cheeses together with a little salt and pepper. If using, mix in the grated Parmesan cheese for an added flavor boost and extra crispy crust.

STEP 2: ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICH

  1. Layer the Cheese: Place a non-buttered side of a bread slice down and sprinkle a generous layer of the cheese mixture over it. Cover with another slice of bread, buttered side up, then add another layer of cheese on top of that slice, followed by the final slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing outwards. Essentially, your sandwich will have bread, cheese, bread, cheese, and then bread again, with the outer layers buttered.

STEP 3: GRILL THE SANDWICH

  1. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. You want to cook the sandwich slowly to allow the cheese to melt without burning the bread.
  2. Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  3. Flip Carefully: Turn the sandwich over and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted, about another 3-4 minutes. If you have a lid, covering the pan for a minute can help melt the cheese without overheating the bread.
  4. Low and Slow: If the bread is browning too quickly but the cheese isn’t fully melted, lower the heat. The key to a perfect grilled cheese is patience for that perfectly melted center and crispy exterior.

STEP 4: SERVE

  1. Cool Slightly: Let the sandwich sit for a minute before cutting. This brief rest allows the cheese to set slightly, reducing the risk of all your cheese oozing out on the first cut.
  2. Cut and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich in half or quarters, depending on your preference. Serve immediately while it’s warm and the cheese is at its meltiest.

Serving Suggestions

  • Soup Pairing: Serve your Double Grilled Cheese Toast with a bowl of tomato soup for a classic combination, or with any soup of your choice.
  • Salad: Pair with a light, crisp salad to balance the richness of the cheese.
  • Dipping Sauces: Offer dipping sauces like ketchup, marinara, or ranch dressing for an extra flavor kick.

This Double Grilled Cheese Toast is not just a sandwich; it’s a comforting, cheesy delight that doubles down on everything you love about the original. Perfect for a decadent lunch, dinner, or anytime you need a cheese fix. Enjoy crafting this cheesy masterpiece!
