I call this grilled cheese, “Not So Classic Grilled Cheese” because I use cheddar and provolone cheese instead of American cheese. This recipe is actually like the “Bacon and Jalapeno Grilled Cheese” recipe, minus the bacon and jalapenos of course and I use Texas toast. It’s very delicious. Also, feel free to use a little less cheese if you’d like. You can pair this sandwich with your favorite soup. Grilled cheese is famously known to be eaten with a bowl of tomato soup, but there are so many different soups you can eat with a grilled cheese sandwich. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to eat it with soup at all. I hope you enjoy this not-so-classic grilled cheese sandwich. Tell me about it.
This is the grilled cheese sandwich you never knew you needed until now.
butter to toast the bread in the skillet(about 4-6 tbsp)
Instructions
Heat a skillet on low to medium heat.
Slide the butter around in a heated pan carefully while a generous amount melts. Be careful not to burn the butter. If the heat is too high and the butter is too brown, your bread would probably brown faster than the cheese is melting.
Put Texas toast bread in the skillet. The goal is to heat the bread enough so that when you lay the cheese on the bread, the heat from the bread helps melt the cheese. After you see that the bread is not quite toasted, but hot and maybe browned a little around the edges, flip the bread over in the skillet.
Immediately put four slices of cheese. 2 slices of mild cheddar and 2 slices of provolone. You can put them in whatever order you like.
Immediately close the sandwich and put more butter in the skillet. Place the sandwich on top of the melted butter. Again, make sure the heat is not too high. Once you lift up your sandwich with a spatula enough to see that, that side of the bread is toasted properly, flip and do the same thing.
Transfer to your plate and repeat with the second sandwich. You can cut these in half.
Enjoy!
Notes
If the cheese is not melting as soon as you’d like, you can use a cheese melting dome or a heat-resistant bowl to cover the toast.
