Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ounces Gruyère cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 ounce Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Flip the bread slices over. On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the Dijon mustard.
- Layer the Gruyère and Brie cheese evenly over the mustard.
- Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the sandwich. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and stretching.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately for the best cheese pull.
Notes
- For an even better melt, cover the skillet loosely while the second side cooks.
- If you prefer a sharper flavor, substitute one ounce of Gruyère with aged white cheddar.
- Use medium-low heat to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts completely.
